I was awakened at 540 am by garbage trucks lifting and dropping large dumpsters about 50 yards from my window in the adjacent property. It went n for 10 minutes, and it left me unable to get back to dleep. Although the hotel probably has no control over this, the main purpose of my stay was to be able to sleep before an appointment in the morning, and since this apparently happens every week, I rank this hotel as poor because you can’t sleep there without being jarred awake on a Friday nor morning.
The offending dumpsters.
