acceptable stay, but some issues

street noise slippery floor
the hotel is close to many attractions. attractions are 5-10 min away from the hotel.
street noise was a problem. i read other reviews and they mentioned that street noise might be a problem at this hotel but that wasn't the case . the bathroom was another problem because the bathtub was virtually impossible to use as it had an high sill. there was no grab bar and a very slippery floor.

sink repair inconsistent towels
The shower sink repair i requested never happened. Despite assurances it was taken care of! replacement of towels was inconsistent, only done partially. the staff removed the room key from the power socket, a perplexing action that prevented plugs from working and electronics from charging as intended. this oversight was particularly frustrating, and i expect better attention to detail.
