Average stay with some letdowns

inadequate parking early morning noise
The allocated parking area was not good. Much of the parking was for storage and fenced off. Large trucks parked and took up multiple spaces. Finding a spot was difficult, especially on weekends. The complex got noisy very early with vehicles leaving and a 6:00 am garbage collection that woke me up.
