noise issue thin walls
the room was spacious with a good size bathroom.
Our room faced the street, and birds woke us up early each morning. kids ran around upstairs until midnight. It was not ideal. i wish families with children could be placed on lower floors. also, the walls seemed very thin, so noise was an issue.
