loud bar broken elevator
The shower and toiletries were alright, I suppose.
The noise level here was something else. The bar downstairs was so loud, it was like trying to sleep inside a speaker. Then, the elevator broke down. Carrying luggage down several flights of stairs? That killed it.

spacious room luggage storage
The triple room I booked was spacious. It provided lots of storage for my belongings and my companions' items. The hotel allowed us to store bags before check-in and after check-out. This enabled us to explore without luggage.
