Good value but no outside window

The room was ok and good value for money. Unfortunately it wasn't obvious or stated when booking that there was no outside window to my room making it feel claustraphobic. The floors are thin with lots of noise from the room above. The bed was comfortable and the room clean but with the noise and lack of window its unlikely I'll stay again. I did ask the staff for another room with a window, they said they were unable to help.

Noisy room

Our room on the second floor had no external windows so the room was always a bit dark. The main issue was that the room was noisy. The air conditioner , bathroom fan and general traffic were all noisy. A very standard hotel room.
