Request earplugs at check-in or bring your own; street and neighboring room noise can be noticeable despite closed windows.
Hot water has a manual switch in the room and takes 20 minutes to heat up; plan shower timing accordingly.
Ask about early check-in availability once rooms are ready; staff frequently accommodate this request.
