poor soundproofing disruptive stay
The room I was given was not up to par. The air conditioning struggled to cool the room. I could constantly hear noise from both adjacent rooms and the street outside. It.

convenient location friendly staff clean room noisy lift power issue small room
the location was convenient. it was close to the city and the train station. the staff were friendly and accommodating (i especially liked how they greeted me every morning). the room was clean.
The room was next to the lift. it was quite noisy. I could hear people entering and exiting. i also heard the lift moving past the room. there was a small issue with the power during the first hour, but it was resolved quickly.

Acceptable, but Some Issues Need Addressing
The television was difficult to operate. It often took several minutes to respond to the remote control. This made it difficult to rest.
