Mixed Feelings About the Stay

good locationsmall roomnoisy toilet fan
The location was good, near places I wanted to visit.
My room was quite small, and its window faced the bins. Security cameras were pointed directly at the bedroom window. Delivery personnel passing by could easily see inside. The toilet fan was also VERY noisy, annoying at night.
