broken tv intense street noise
My room was supposedly a beautiful double or twin room, but the tv didn't work, a bummer. i asked them to fix it, but nothing happened . Apparently, it needed replacing. also, the noise from the street was pretty intense, even on the third floor. it made for a rather loud night.
