Average Stay with Notable Issues

poor lightingfaulty hinge
My stay had issues. The bathroom lighting was poor. Only one light above the mirror functioned, so the shower area felt dark. The shower door sagged because of a faulty top hinge. It would not close completely. the railroad crossing nearby rang incessantly. This disturbed my sleep, as the sounds penetrated the soundproof windows.
