convenient access major sights comfortable mattress comfortable mattresses spacious room internal hotel noise loud housekeeping slamming doors
The hotel's location provided convenient access to major sights. It was close to the main attractions. The room was spacious and the mattresses felt comfortable.
The internal hotel noise was a problem, I could hear other rooms. Housekeeping was loud. The doors slammed often so it was impossible to relax at times.
