Mixed Feelings About My Stay

loud music soundproofing lack
The hotel's location was good, near many attractions I wanted to see, like the Salamanca markets.
The room I was given, a Standard Twin Room, suffered from noise issues. Being directly above the pub, loud music carried on until midnight. The lack of adequate soundproofing made for a restless night.
