poor soundproofing insufficient signage

my room lacked proper soundproofing. i could clearly hear noise from the breakfast area starting early each morning. this disturbance affected my sleep quality. also the hotel lacked clear signage making it difficult to locate initially. the taxi driver struggled to find it because of this poor visibility.

I thought the location was excellent, but some things were off. the breakfast needed improvements. It felt quite limited. also, i found the stairs to be quite challenging with my luggage. It was more difficult than i anticipated. the staff tried to assist, but it was still a struggle.
