i noticed a lack of storage. for a stay longer than a single night, the provided space seemed inadequate. there was little room to keep clothes.

Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Drawbacks

excellent bathroominsufficient storagepoor noise isolation
The bathroom were excellent and provided enough room.
The hotel room lacked sufficient storage. I had a small suitcase, yet there was almost no place to put my clothes. Staff at reception did not seem motivated, and there was often no greeting upon entry and little acknowledgment from cleaning staff in the hallways. The noise isolation was poor. Conversations from adjacent rooms were easily audible.
