Our room didn’t have a normal size door, so you feel pressured to enter the room, the room just let you feel cheap and not welcome feeling. You can hear almost everything from neighbors, and we unfortunately had very bad neighbors for first few days, there were yelling and arguing all the night. Got headaches due to bad sleep. We won’t stay there again
