adequate stay

high ceilings quick service dark room creaking doors
The room was spacious with high ceilings. The staff supplied a fan when i could not open the window because of noise outside. Robes were provided quickly upon request. The location is also good, giving access to a green space.
The room was somewhat dark. The doors also creaked a bit. It shows that the rooms could use more regular maintenance. I also noticed a lack of proper sound insulation.
