mixed feelings about this place

small room poor soundproofing
the staff seemed helpful enough, i guess.
the room felt smaller than advertised. i also noticed that the soundproofing was subpar. street noise kept me awake most nights, and it seemed like the garbage trucks arrived promptly at 5 a.m. every morning.
