the noise levels were bothersome. i heard loud noises coming from either above or below my room throughout the night. the sounds resembled banging or mechanical operations, and they disrupted my sleep considerably. it is also difficult to access the hotel.

inconvenient policy key recharging

The LOCATION proved acceptable. It was indeed close to the airport.

The 'use once' policy for room keys is quite an INCONVENIENCE. i got BORED and went in and out often. i had to get my room key recharged EACH time. It was ridiculous, and everyone i mentioned it to agreed.
