street noiseoutdated windows
I was initially pleased with the location near the station, but the noise at night became a real issue. the outdated windows offered little sound insulation. I could hear every train and street noise. the room felt a bit neglected, with some wear and tear noticeable (i noticed some stains). the lack of on-site parking was also inconvenient, requiring a walk to a distant lot (this took longer than expected).
