the tv in my room only had youtube. there was no netflix or hbo. the wifi was super spotty, so i couldn't chrome cast either.

thin wall constant noise
The location was pretty central, it was quite convenient.
The walls seemed awfully thin, I could hear neighbor dogs barking. It was not the quiet stay I wanted. I found a pop top wedged into the ceiling fixture to stop it from rattling, but it did not work, apply:.
