Acceptable stay with concerning issues
terrible water pressure poor soundproofing
The room was clean enough.
The water pressure in the shower was BAD. It barely trickled. I also found that the soundproofing was awful, I could hear EVERYTHING from other rooms. The noise made it difficult to relax.

Acceptable stay with some drawbacks
weak shower pressure daily towel replacement
The room had enough space.
The shower pressure was quite weak. I also found that towels were not replaced daily (i had to ask for new ones). Getting the TV to work on the first night was difficult.
