Underwhelming stay. Issues need addressing

poor soundproofing bathroom smell

The location is fine. It is near the canal.

The pool being used for swimming lessons really ruined my relaxation plans. the soundproofing was a joke. I could hear everything from adjacent rooms, even alarms. an awful smell filled the bathroom. I found this unacceptable for a hotel of this supposed standard.
