average stay with noticeable flaws

worn furniture excessive noise
the hotel's location was acceptable, being conveniently situated near the seafront.
The room i received did not match website photos. The furniture seemed old, and the paint was worn. the carpet looked dirty, needing replacement. also, the lack of proper soundproofing made the room excessively noisy due to street traffic.
