street noisesteep stairs

I wasn't thrilled with the noise level. the room's proximity to a busy street meant i heard traffic late into the night, thanks to the paper-thin walls. earplugs became my best friends , and that's not exactly the souvenir i wanted from my trip.. perhaps better soundproofing is needed. also, the stairs were a bit of a climb with luggage. I was like i was training for a marathon.

I found the location convenient. It was just steps away from everything I wanted to see. I really appreciated being able to leave my bags after checkout. It helped me explore more.
