Noisy Room, Not impressed

loud streetrude staff
The noise was a real problem for me. The hotel is on a corner. The street had many loud cars and people shouted late. It was hard to sleep without ear plugs, I should have brought some. the admin guy was not great, he was rude to me at check in and check out. I don't know if he was having a bad day or is always like that.

The hotel offered parking at no charge. The lobby featured a good coffee machine with free morning coffee. I had a recently renovated room. My room was of a good size.
The pillows felt a bit small, like square cushions.
