obstructed view constant noise
My stay started well but declined. The room I booked wasn't ready when I arrived. I had to wait several hours, even though check-in time had passed. The staff did not seem particularly concerned.. This was frustrating as I had planned my day around the expected check-in. the promised city view was obstructed by scaffolding. These issues detracted significantly from the overall experience, diminishing my initial positive impression.
