mixed feelings about the stay
small room boiler noise
The room size was definitely a squeeze. Not ideal when you have luggage. the noise from what i assume was the boiler room kept me up a bit. i swear the pipes were trying to sing opera at 3 a.m... on the bright side, it provided some comedic relief, although not when i was trying to sleep.
