the beds were comfy enough, a basic but acceptable feature after a long journey.
My room, a standard twin room, faced a busy road and the soundproofing was not effective. I could hear traffic all night. also, the bathroom lacked basic amenities. There wasn't even a small shelf to place toiletries near the sink. the lack of attention to such simple details was disappointing.
