"The housekeepers should have checked behind the furniture prior to clearing it for the next occupants. The windows are not noise-quiet; we heard police sirens; motorists doing wheelies, and etc., during the nights. The parking was great. I Unable to eat breakfast due to a medical procedure next morning."
