1. Didn't run into any noise issues but I would imagine it could be a problem if you have noisy neighbors.

2. I'd give the hotel 2 stars just because it was pretty run down but I wouldn't have an issue staying there again because the rate was great and it was only a 10 minute walk to the mag.

3. We knew that would be an issue though so we dealt with it.

4. The stair carpet was well worn but this wasn't a major issue for me, just something I noticed.

5. The only issues we had were that the heater in the room was very very noisy (loud CLACK) every 30 minutes it kept the room comfortable on quite a cold night and heated up in minutes after our arrival.

6. The lighting fixtures are old and unstable, but they`re working and should not be an issue.
