average experience due to noise and room issues

excessive noise missing wardrobe

the location was ideal for exploring the city center.

I found my room disappointing. there was excessive noise from early morning deliveries. the room also lacked essential amenities, specifically a wardrobe. There was only a luggage rack for two suitcases.
