mixed feelings about my stay

traffic noise inconsiderate guests

the location proved convenient for accessing nearby restaurants (i did appreciate this).

i encountered issues with noise. traffic noise from the road was noticeable. other guests were not considerate about closing doors gently during quiet hours. this disruption affected my sleep.
