constant trafficthin walls

I was not pleased with the noise level. The constant traffic sounds made it difficult to sleep. The walls seemed thin. I could hear conversations next door and people walking above. This lack of soundproofing really detracted from any relaxation I hoped to have at night. It made hauling my luggage a real chore.
