Mixed feelings about the stay
bathroom floorhallway noise
i was expecting a bit more, to be honest. the housekeeping wasn't as spot-on as it should have been. i found a few hairs on the bathroom floor upon arrival, a small detail, but noticeable. also, the soundproofing wasn't great, i could hear noise from the hallway, which wasn't exactly relaxing.
