Basic Stay with Some Issues

suitable locationpoor sound isolationnoisy doors
The location was suitable for exploring, placing main attractions within walking distance.
The sound isolation was poor. Hallway noises were easily heard from inside the room. Breakfast was also disappointing as the quality of the products was unsatisfactory. The doors are thin and very noisy
