poor soundproofing unstocked minibar
I found a few things lacking . The room was far from soundproofed. Street noise disrupted sleep each night. The music from a nearby bar was excessive until late at night. The minibar was not always restocked promptly either, and I had to call multiple times to get water replenished.
