noisy service early deliveries
the free parking was useful because spaces are limited.
The room overlooked a noisy service area. I was woken up early by deliveries. the noise really detracted from any sense of relaxation.

noise insulation weak water pressure
the superior double room i booked was clean enough. however the noise insulation proved inadequate. i could clearly hear conversations and footsteps from the hallway throughout the night. also the water pressure in the shower was very weak. it made showering a slow and somewhat frustrating process. i expected better for the price i paid.
