thin wall bathroom stains
The location was fairly central. I could reach most attractions without too much hassle, a definite plus.
The room was smaller than expected and the noise was a nightmare. the walls seemed paper-thin. I heard every conversation and footstep. the bathroom wasn't properly cleaned. There was a strange smell and some questionable stains, quite unpleasant.
