Average Stay, Some Issues Noted

poor soundproofinginsufficient hooks
I experienced some issues . The main problem was the poor soundproofing. Noise from other rooms and the hallway disrupted my sleep. i found the lack of sufficient towel hooks in the bathroom inconvenient. There was nowhere to hang wet towels. These small issues detracted from an otherwise acceptable stay, sadly.
