adequate stay, some disappointments

appropriate facilitiespoor soundproofingunfriendly attitude
the room was clean and tidy, suitable for an adult with a child, and it had appropriate facilities.
soundproofing in the room was poor (i could hear doors closing and furniture moving in adjacent rooms). i received a call from the staff complaining about noise coming from my room at 9 pm. the staff returned to my door with an unfriendly attitude even after my friends had left.
