6. We couldn't get a good night sleep too as there was a lot of commotion during the night since this hotel is in the downtown and also because the other rooms in this hotel are too close by, you can actually hear the noise from the other room and just in case you want to take a nap in the afternoon the noise of the room service staff cleaning other rooms and talking to each other won't let you do that.

7. But, I have paid much more at large chain hotels and had hall noise, dirty carpets and far less comfort.
