Okay Stay. Some Issues

thin walls squeaky bed
The walls were thin, I could hear other guests too easily. This made it hard to relax! Also the bed was quite squeaky. Every movement caused a noise. It was rather annoying, actually.

Acceptable but with Shortcomings

poor isolation squeaky bed
The noise isolation was quite poor I could hear other guests. This made sleeping difficult especially since I wanted a quiet night. Also the bed was quite squeaky every time I moved I was worried I would wake up my partner. It was adequate for a short stay but those issues impacted my rest.
