Basic Accommodation. Some Issues

small roomthin walls
The room I stayed in was pretty small. Space was definitely limited. I also found the lack of staff on site frustrating, especially when I needed some assistance. Made carrying luggage difficult. The walls seemed thin. I heard a lot of noise from other guests.
