underwhelming stay

easy accessmissing towel racksinadequate soundproofing

the location was acceptable, providing easy access to various attractions.

The room lacked practical features. there were no towel racks available (i had to get creative). soundproofing was also inadequate. Noise from the corridor was quite disruptive, it really bothered me (i seemed like i was living in a train station).
