noisy streetold mattress
The room i stayed in faced the street, and the noise was incessant. I swear i heard every siren. the church bells chimed all night. we loved the location but the noise. Made sleep difficult. The mattress felt old with springs poking through. also, the staff seemed understaffed at times, it took a while to get basic requests fulfilled, like extra towels, a real frustration. this hotel needs soundproof windows and new beds
