Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

small roompoor insulation

The room I booked was quite small. Maneuvering around the bed was difficult. There was minimal storage space. I had to keep my belongings in my luggage. The window had poor insulation. A noticeable draft was present. I also noticed some noise from the hallway. It was quite disruptive at times.
