cramped room soundproofing lack
the english breakfast tasted good and fresh.
The room felt quite cramped. There was barely space to move around. i was also disappointed with the lack of soundproofing. I could hear conversations and noise from other rooms and the hallway, difficult to relax, especially at night. the tv remote was missing a battery cover.
