Acceptable Stay, Noticeable Issues

no closetleaking shower door
My room lacked storage. There was no closet, nor any shelves for clothing, which forced me to live out of my suitcase. The shower door was also faulty. Water leaked each time I showered, and the bathroom floor became wet. These issues should be addressed.

The location was AMAZING. I checked in on October 25, 2024. The rooms were beautifully decorated and included a comfortable bed. I loved it SO much!!!
The room itself smelled like an old smokers room which wasn't pleasant AT ALL.

The restaurant downstairs proved convenient. It offered a quick option for meals.
The thin walls were a problem. I could hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms at all hours, impacting my sleep. plus, the lack of soundproofing made it hard to relax during the day.
