thin walls late music
the breakfast was acceptable, though unremarkable.
I found the noise levels unacceptable. I was disturbed by music playing until late, and i found it difficult to sleep. this is not what i expect for the price i paid, and i insist on a quieter environment. i found the thin walls a significant problem.

Adequate Stay
huge television friendly staff excellent breakfast drab room sticky bedding noise transmission
The room had a huge television. All the staff were very friendly and cute. I found the English breakfast excellent (I especially liked the sausages).
The room was drab. The bedding felt sticky, a bit unpleasant. I noticed noise through the walls from other rooms' televisions.
