Some Possible Noise Issues
This hotel is located on a busy, main road and can be a bit noisy at times with the sounds of traffic from below. Also, walls are quite thin so you may hear your neighbours. There are also generators that run into the night and they can be noisy as well as cause a vibrating feeling.
