peeling wallpaper poor soundproofing

The staff was friendly and helpful . They answered all my questions

The room decor felt dated. The floral wallpaper was peeling in several places. The bathroom tiles had visible mold and mildew, not a good sign. soundproofing was poor. I could clearly hear conversations and street noise.
