super clean roommini fridgebeeping caravanirritating sound
the room was super clean, and the mini fridge was a nice touch. it was very cosy, and i found it quite relaxing. the staff were helpful and polite.
The beeping caravan sound was irritating throughout the day! someone needed to fix this situation, it really bothered me. i hope it gets fixed soon. Otherwise, it will affect sleep.
