My escape.
I booked close (within 2 blocks of) my destination and with the exception of my getting a little lost after the flight, everything was great, exceptionally quiet, and very convenient.

Not what I expected
The property was nice. It was the outside noise that wasn't. Construction was going on Friday and Saturday. Right outside our window people were moving into a building right behind the building all day Friday and Saturday. The neighbors next door was constantly making noise. No television so my girlfriend and I went and brought one because the weather was kind of funny one day. Went up to the rooftop deck and that turned out to be just a roof. Nothing special. The bathroom was nice except for the air vent that was going on all night long. I don't think I will be going back.
