Acceptable Stay with Issues

street noise uncomfortable bed
The room lacked proper soundproofing. Street noise at night was very intrusive and impacted my sleep. The bed was also quite uncomfortable. I could feel the springs. It made restful sleep difficult. the shower head needed descaling. Water did not flow properly.
