Mixed Feelings After My Stay

friendly staffsmall roomtraffic noise
The hotel staff were friendly at check in.
The room was small and noisy. I could hear everything from the room above and to the side, including doors closing and people talking. Outside traffic noise was an issue too creating a poor night's sleep, poor sleep.
