A Mixed Bag of Experiences
service yard led pollution
My room faced a service yard, not exactly the view one hopes for. I found it difficult to control the air conditioning. It was either too cold or too stuffy. The LED lighting from some equipment outside was quite annoying at night. I noticed the decoration wasn't examined very closely, it needed some attention to detail.
