loud music small room

the location was alright.

the noise from the bar downstairs was so bad i barely slept the first night. the music went on till so late and it reminded me of the bed was shaking. plus, the next day, early in the morning, they were unloading stuff outside and it was noisy. the room itself was really small and felt old.
