street noiselimited counter space
Our room faced the street. Loud noise at night really bothered me. The provided earplugs helped slightly, but I still couldn't sleep well. The bathroom lacked counter space. I had trouble placing my toiletries. The temperature control was also complicated. I never managed to set it correctly. It was just frustrating.
