constant beeping fire alarm
The room was clean. The transportation options nearby were convenient.
The fire alarm beeped constantly. Staff said they could not turn it off. The beeping continued every 2 seconds. It made sleep impossible. We were offered another room. That room had the same problem.

broken remote unusable vouchers
I had some problems . The TV remote did not work, annoying. I found some drink vouchers in my room. Those drink vouchers were not for me, so I returned them to reception. You would think they would have let me use them as a thank you for being honest?
