Not comfortable

Everything was fine except the mattress, the mattress are old , very old the springs are cleared worn-out its almost like your on a water bed its not comfortable at all. The refrigerator in our room makes a lot of noise literally woke us up every time the compressor turn on and off. Whomever designed the rooms and the smoke alarm location was very uneducated inexperienced careless not knowing anything about hotels and comfort, the smoke alarm with a bright lights is directly on top of the bed shinning in your eye all night long. The water pressure in the shower head is extremely low, if the owner thinks they are saving money or water by that they are wrong, it takes 10 times longer to take a shower waisting 10 times more water. Room 233.
