Limited dining options within the immediate vicinity

“In my opinion, this property's location is a definite plus. From what I gathered, while some rooms are updated, common areas show their age, even emanating a noticeable carpet odor. I think a stay here could be acceptable for a quick trip, although noise from adjacent rooms might be an issue.”
