sound insulation night noise
Check-in was an easy process. The reception provided useful information regarding local parking options.
The room proved disappointing. It lacked sound insulation. I clearly heard neighbors, a disruptive issue at night. The noise made sleep difficult. I advise bringing earplugs.
