hotel guest discountwine discountstreet noiseconstant disruption

The breakfast included a discount on wine for hotel guests, I suppose that was ok.

My room faced the street and was noisy at night. Motorbikes and loud music from cars were a constant disruption. Old windows didn't block any noise. It was annoying!
