mixed stay with a few issues

convenient locationmissed housekeepingstreet noise
the location was acceptable. it was convenient to get around.
The room was not what i expected. housekeeping seemed to miss our room several times . i had to call for towels one day, and even then, it took hours for someone to actually bring them. the noise from the street was also quite noticeable, especially late at night. It definitely affected my sleep.

lukewarm radiatorsicy shower
The room looked great at first glance (though a bit chilly). The radiators felt only lukewarm. The water initially felt lukewarm and then became cold quickly. This happened so fast that my shower turned icy. I now have a fever. Problems with the heating occurred for friends traveling with me. The hotel turns off the radiators at night.
