mixed feelings about my stay
low water pressure small shower
I was quite annoyed by the noise. i could clearly hear conversations from the hallway and the adjacent room. It was difficult to sleep. the bathroom was also underwhelming. the shower was quite small, and the water pressure was really low (a trickle, really).
