Think twice for a good nights sleep

The hallway to the rooms is hardwood flooring meaning you can hear everyone walking to there rooms and when they get to there rooms you can hear the doors slamming which isn’t great when you have work the next day and if that doesn’t bother you having the room above you stomping around at midnight due to the flooring being very hollow and you can even hear people talk should just about ruin your nights sleep…
