average stay, noise issues.
horrendous traffic noise poorly sealed windows
the trams outside were unbelievably noisy. the windows are old and not sealed well, so the traffic noise was terrible. i asked about a room change, but staff just suggested i buy ear plugs, even though there seemed rooms available online.
