Acceptable stay OVERALL

spacious roomclean roomincluded breakfastuncomfortable mattressthin walllightweight bed
The hotel room was spacious and quite clean. I appreciated that the price INCLUDED breakfast, a bit basic , but enough to start the day. I could store luggage and use the toilets after check-out.
The bed actually consisted of two lightweight beds pushed together , and they moved easily. The mattresses WERE NOT comfortable , and the blankets lacked softness. The walls were NOT soundproof AT ALL. I could hear everything.
