Please answer this question for me.

She entered a room down at the end of the hallway./She entered a room down the end of the hall.


What is the most natural way to write this sentence?

Can I omit 'at' and say 'hall' instead of 'hallway'?

You can omit down. Can I omit 'a? Only if you say ' down the end' ..

We often say casually went into instead of entered.
