Acceptable Location, But Issues Exist
inadequate soundproofing small room
The location proved convenient for accessing various attractions (a definite plus).
The noise was a problem. The trams ran early and late. The soundproofing wasn't adequate, and it was like the tram stop was right in the room. I think the room was quite small, too (not ideal when you need space to move around).
