location good, room needs work

dripping tap street noise
the location was pretty good, easy to walk to shops and restaurants.
The room itself felt a bit run-down. The tap dripped all night, annoying. the bed wasn't very comfortable. the street noise kept me awake, even with the windows closed. You could hear everything outside.
