cheap furnishings restaurant noise
the location was decent i suppose right in that old town area not exactly my cup of tea but whatever
this place calls itself a four-star hotel. the single room was a joke cheap furnishings a fridge practically glued to the bed it felt more like a hostel than a hotel. and don't even get me started on the noise the restaurant downstairs blasted music until way past midnight so much for a peaceful night.
