clean room fresh options thin walls missing sign
the room was always clean thanks to the housekeeping. the breakfast was good, especially the variety of fresh options (i enjoyed it a lot).
the walls seemed very thin, and i heard every noise. there was no "do not disturb" sign, and cleaners woke me up one morning.
