acceptable breakfastroom noisesoundproofing issues

the breakfast was quite acceptable.

The room i was assigned was noticeably small and i could clearly hear noise from adjacent rooms. The soundproofing needs improvement. this made it difficult to relax fully, especially later in the evening, and was disruptive.
