the front desk staff seemed cheerful enough, not that i needed much from them.
The room felt smaller than advertised. and the walls, oh, the walls were paper thin. I could hear every conversation next door, every cough, every snore. sleeping became a strategic endeavor rather than a restful experience, so annoying.
