The bedroom carpet looked quite worn. also, the road-facing room was unexpectedly noisy. Opening the window let in a significant amount of traffic sound. even with the window closed, noise was still noticeable. it hindered a restful night.

The TV in my room didn't work, and despite reporting it to the reception, nobody came to fix IT! I also noticed a high level of traffic noise due to the hotel's location on a main road. THE floorboards were squeaky. I could hear every movement from the room above.
