small roomthin walls
The room size surprised me. It felt cramped, and I wasn't expecting that. The second issue involved noise. I could hear conversations through the walls, quite distracting and made relaxing difficult.

underwhelming stay despite good location
good locationnon-working showerloud noises
the location was quite good.
The shower wasn't working on the first morning. there was no obvious way to contact any staff. loud noises at night really kept us up. I found that very frustrating, considering the price of the room. the inability to easily reach someone for assistance was a definite drawback.
