Acceptable Location, Notable Issues

great locationlack of ventilationloud noise
The location was close to many sites.
The room I booked, a King Cabin Room No Windows, reminded me of a dungeon. The absence of windows. Ventilation was definitely a problem. I could also hear EVERYTHING from the club next door until late at night, which REALLY disrupted my sleep.
