For us this was a great place. I was in town with my colleague for business a few blocks away and we could easily park, walk, and get around. I didn't find it loud as others have suggested but it was an unusually cold weekend and no one was in the courtyard. I loved that we each had our own room/bathroom with separate heater/ac. Beds were comfortable too. I'd also suggest like others, something (like the frosted glass film) for the front door since you can see direct into one of the bedrooms from the courtyard. Place worked for us.
