Booked this room basically to sleep for the night. Unbelievably thin walls. I could hear every single word of the person’s phone conversation way into the night. I couldn’t sleep at all. Probably around 3-4am they finally stopped talking. Not to mention all the sirens ringing throughout the night wasn’t any better.
