unbearable noise levels thin walls

The hotel's location was near the metro, so getting around wasn't a complete disaster.

The noise levels were unbearable at times, especially with thin walls and loud neighbors, this made getting a decent night's sleep almost impossible. I need better soundproofing, not excuses.
