plumbing noise excessive charge
the hotel was modern and was to be very clean so that was good.
the noise from the plumbing was disruptive during the night and i found it hard to sleep well. i ordered breakfast to my room and was surprised by a significant service charge in addition to the tray fee, this seemed excessive. it really frustrated me.
