Location good. Room disappointing

outdated decor uncomfortable bed
the location was good, right by major sights.
The room i got felt pretty outdated. The decor seemed old, and some of the furniture looked like it had seen better days. the bed wasn't very comfortable and some of the electrical outlets didn't work, quite inconvenient. it just didn't feel worth what i paid.
