faulty door thin curtains

I was initially happy with the location, it was convenient. however, the room i booked online looked nothing like the actual room. the bathroom was like it hadn't been updated in decades and there were issues with noise. Loud music until midnight followed by noisy guests and early morning seagulls. sleep was impossible due to thin curtains and rock-hard beds, really ruining the stay.
