Underwhelming Stay, Disappointing Aspects Noted
small room sizepoor noise isolation
The room size was smaller than expected for a quadruple. This made moving around with luggage difficult. The noise isolation was also a problem. Street noise was easily audible and affected sleep. I could also hear sounds from the pool above my sixth-floor room.
