decent location, but a few issues

poor shower design early morning noise
my stay wasn't fantastic. the shower was poorly designed. it sprayed water all over the floor. the noise early in the morning from trash collection outside the window was not appreciated. this happened around 7 am and was very disruptive. breakfast was underwhelming too and it didn't feel organized.
