It was a little loud with the train coming by at night and being on the first floor you can easily hear people walking around above. They do have earplugs and a white noise machine in the room to try and help.

Room was clean just had a stale smell to it. After a while. I got use to it and was able to sleep. It was nothing that an air freshener couldn’t handle.
