missing wardrobe early hoovering

I felt frustrated that my room lacked basic amenities. there WAS no wardrobe or even hangers to hang my clothes. the noise levels were unacceptable. Staff members started hoovering early in the morning. I didn't sleep well due to this unexpected disturbance. it really impacted my stay.
