lovely viewcooking facilitiesfresh producesoundproofing issueconnecting roomroom noises

The room had a lovely view from the 13th floor. It was clean and provided basic cooking facilities. The location was near a high-end supermarket with fresh produce.

Inter-room soundproofing was not adequate. I could hear noises from the neighboring room. I would only stay in a non-connecting room in the future. This issue detracted from an otherwise pleasant stay.
