Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

convenient locationconstant noiseuncomfortable bed
The location was near the train station, convenient for travel.
The room, a Double Room Private Bathroom, faced the parking area. This meant constant noise from cars and trucks. The bed was like sleeping on a plank. I felt every spring.
