moderate stay experience

acceptable locationdated roompoor insulation
the location was acceptable it was close to amenities.
the room felt dated it did not match the photos online. the noise insulation was poor conversations next door were clearly audible as if the other guests were in the same room. the constant sound of neighbors walking upstairs and flushing toilets was disruptive due to a pipe issue within the walls this was an unacceptable level of disturbance and prevented rest.
