The room i had looked really tired, i think. the furniture seemed old and a bit worn, and i found some scratches on the floor. also, i thought the soundproofing wasn't great. i could hear noise from what i think was a nearby club late at night. It was hard to sleep, and i had to ask the reception to turn the music down. it was a bit annoying.
