small window street noise
i was a bit disappointed with some aspects. my room , a twin room , felt quite small and stuffy because it had only a small window. it did not help air circulation. also , the noise from the street was noticeable. the windows seemed thin and did not block out much sound , , made sleeping a bit difficult.
