mixed feelings about this hotel

helpful staffdisruptive noise levelspoor sleep

the staff at the hotel was helpful.

the noise levels were quite disruptive at night. a nearby club played music until late and i could hear people shouting on the street. the provided earplugs did not entirely solve the problem, it was difficult to sleep well.
