Underwhelming stay. Some charm, some issues

poor soundproofingbathroom upkeep
I must say, the advertised soundproofing was a myth. it was like sleeping in the middle of a rave. Bass throbbed through the walls until the early hours. the room itself was okay, but the bathroom needed some serious attention. i noticed peeling paint and a general lack of upkeep. Hardly what i'd expect for the price i paid.
