small room insufficient soundproofing

The room size proved smaller than anticipated. I noted a distinct lack of soundproofing. Disturbances from adjacent rooms were readily audible, not ideal. a minibar would have been a welcome addition to the room. Its absence required reliance on external options for refreshments.
