Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

good locationstreet noisereception noise
The hotel location is good, close to many sights and a metro stop.
My room faced the street. A big avenue is just next to it, so it was noisy. As I am sensitive to noise, this impacted my stay negatively. The room was on the first floor. I could also hear noises from the reception.
