convenient locationpoor insulationlimited space
the hotel's location proved convenient for exploring nearby attractions.
The noise insulation in my room was poor. I could hear conversations and other disturbances from adjacent rooms. this made it difficult to relax or sleep soundly. the minibar was stocked, however, i found limited space for personal items in the room.
