Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

cramped roomexternal noise
The room felt quite cramped. There was little space to store our belongings (a small wardrobe). The noise from outside was an issue, especially since i needed to keep the window open because the room felt stuffy. This impacted sleep quality.
