Room was very nice and clean. I don’t like that you essentially walk into the bathroom. I don’t like the split bathroom where the sink is outside the shower/toilet area. Very unsanitary and disturbing to those sleeping when other uses the sink, turns on the light, etc. Also, very thin walls. We can here people in the next room using the bathroom.
