low water pressurethin walls

I was really disappointed with a few aspects. The shower was terrible. The water pressure reminded me of someone was just sprinkling water over my head. I also found a pair of socks behind the bed left by a previous guest. A staff member interrupted us while we were still in bed, asking about room service!!! The walls were thin. I could hear every footstep and noise from the floor above. It was awful.
