Mixed feelings about this place

noisy extractor fan limited parking
I was disappointed with a few things. The extractor fan in the bathroom sounded like a jet engine. It kept me up most of the night. Road work noise was actually quieter than that fan. The parking lot situation was also frustrating, with limited space and difficulty getting out when all spots were taken.
