Check-in felt impersonal. The staff seemed preoccupied, and I waited longer than expected. I requested a quiet room but could still hear noise from the hallway and neighboring rooms at night. The soundproofing seemed inadequate. This made it difficult to relax and get a good night's sleep, noisy hallway, inadequate soundproofing.
