adequate stay with noise issues

convenient locationexcessive street noise
the location proved convenient, offering proximity to major tourist spots.
the street noise was excessive at night, even with the windows closed. i found it difficult to sleep soundly due to ongoing loading and unloading of trucks. the constant cycling of the air conditioning to compensate only worsened the problem.
