I was put in a joing room. The first night, the Other people in room 125 had a dog that kept barking at the joining door. The second night, the new guest had a small child that kept knocking on the joining door. The person above us was walkimg back and forth all day and night with heavy steps. We disnt sleep well.

The room had caulking that looked like it was old or just badly done. The side of the cabinet at the bottom looked like the paint was coming off. The eggs tasted bad.

The walls here are paper-thin; we could hear EVERYTHING in the rooms next to us. It was awful. We could not sleep due to all the noise and left in the middle of the night. I would not recommend. The room was clean only bright side.

The room itself was great, clean and comfy! Unfortunately whoever stays in room 236 above 125, sounded like a loose dog was trying to escape all night. Constant dropping and stomping of things didn’t allow any of us to get much sleep.
