underwhelming experience at a supposedly luxurious hotel

constant street noise basic minibar
i booked a junior suite double urban view. the room felt quite basic. the noise from the nearby street was constant. it made sleeping difficult, and the air conditioning unit was very loud too. the minibar was not well-stocked.
