Acceptable Stay, But Some Issues Noted

cramped room disruptive noise

The breakfast included a good selection of options.

The room was very cramped I could barely move around. The noise from other guests closing doors was also disruptive. Each slam echoed loudly. I also found it difficult to manage the shutters to access the windows.
