I would have liked to have a chair in my room. The only place to sit was on the bed. I was also surprised that there was no sir conditioning, but luckily the temperature was not bad. The airplanes constantly flying overhead were very loud. Sharing a bathroom was definitely a new experience, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
