dim lighting street noise
the bed i used was acceptable, i guess, so i didn't bother asking for another one.
First, there wasn't any elevator, so i hauled my luggage up several flights of stairs. Great workout though. the room lighting was dim. plus, the noise from the street below kept me awake most nights. Earplugs, anyone?
