adequate stay with some issues

clogged shower drainstreet noise
i found some aspects of my stay less than satisfactory. the shower drain was clogged causing water to pool. also, the provided towels felt quite rough and thin. i had expected better quality considering the price point. the noise from the street was noticeable and made it difficult to fall asleep early.
