The hallway is indoors, so the sounds of people walking by, talking and rolling their luggage along, is magnified. The closer you are to the stairs, the more people go past your room.
Warnings about Room 206: (1) The window faces the McDonald's drive-through, so you hear everyone's orders and McD's recorded message umpteen times a day. Thankfully, it's quiet at night, but if the window is left open, the drive-through gets busy around 6 a.m. Rooms immediately around #206 are probably likewise affected by the McDonald's speakers.
(2) The sink faucet is almost impossible to pull up to turn the water on. I almost wrenched my back doing so. (I work out regularly.)
(3) The bathtub and floor by the sink were sticky. Thankfully, when I asked for it to be cleaned, it was done immediately and the guy at the front desk was very nice.
