Mediocre Stay with Room Issues

noisy air conditioning missing plug
I found a couple of things disappointing . The air conditioning unit in my room was quite noisy, and it made sleeping difficult. I found that there was no plug for the sink, quite inconvenient. These issues impacted my overall experience, I must say.

The location was quite central. I could easily walk to most attractions.
My room was not what i expected. The slanted floor was like i was on a ship, and the bed was so hard, i woke up multiple times each night.
