poor sleep quality loud road noise
the location was acceptable it was right next to the palace.
sleep quality was terrible. the noise at night was unbearable causing poor sleep. there is no soundproofing to the outside leading to loud road noise all night. a double gate type door did not close properly slamming shut every few minutes with the wind, it was very loud.
