acceptable locationhorrendous noisemissing plug

the location suited my travel plans just fine , so that part was acceptable.

i had booked an accessible room , but it seems soundproofing isn't a priority at this hotel. a pump was fitted in the room and it made a horrendous noise whenever the sink or toilet were used , reception must have known about the racket. additionally , the lack of a plug in the sink was a minor , yet irritating , inconvenience.
