average stay with minor issues
poor soundproofingbathroom layout
I faced some disappointments . the room lacked proper soundproofing (i could hear everything in the hall), which was disruptive. the bathroom layout was also problematic. It seemed the shower design allowed water to easily spill onto the floor, requiring extra cleanup. it wasn't a terrible experience, but these issues detracted from the overall quality.

small roomlimited soundproofing
I was underwhelmed by the size of our Standard Double Room. It felt quite cramped. The bathroom was also tiny. The lack of proper soundproofing meant I could hear noise from the hallway. This made it difficult to relax in the evenings. The breakfast selection seemed a bit limited, I expected more variety from a hotel of this supposed caliber.
