Basic stay, some disappointments

thin walls small bathroom
The room felt a bit underwhelming overall. I found the walls REALLY thin. I could hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms, that impacted my sleep. The bathroom was also quite small. There was minimal counter space for toiletries, THAT was inconvenient.
