poor soundproofing dirty beach

the location was acceptable.

The room was not soundproofed well. I could hear noise from outside and other rooms. loud events took place in the square outside the hotel, and i wasn't told about it beforehand. the hotel does not have its own beach, and the beach nearby was unkempt and dirty.

The room faced the sea, but the window to the balcony was not sealed properly. a draft came in all night. the pool on the roof could have been more inviting. It was not very warm. there were no hooks in the room to hang things.
