small tvstreet noise
The room was on the small side, really felt cramped. the tv was tiny and pretty far from the bed. also, the noise from the street was pretty bad. I could hear everything going on outside, even late at night. i'm a light sleeper and struggled to sleep well. the staff should really look into soundproofing and providing bigger TVs.
