pavement view loud disturbance
The location proved convenient for the ferry terminal. Staff members were amiable. I found the beds sufficiently comfortable.
My room faced the pavement. Loud disturbances occurred outside the window during the night. This seriously impacted my sleep quality. The noise persisted until the early hours.
