mixed feelings about this hotel

disruptive noise levels poor sleep

the staff at the hotel was helpful.

the noise levels were quite disruptive at night. a nearby club played music until late and i could hear people shouting on the street. the provided earplugs did not entirely solve the problem, it was difficult to sleep well.

loud music small room

the hotel is in a great spot, i guess. the staff seemed nice enough.

Honestly, the noise was ridiculous. a club nearby blasted music until 4 am, i mean, who needs sleep, right? also, the room was small, really small, and dark. I was like i was in a cave.
