We were staying above four dumpsters that were emptied at 5 am, right on a commuter train railway which ran (honking) until 12:45 am, resuming at 5 am. And when we arrived, the wing was being renovated—door cracked open to help with awful outgassing. That room was not ready for guests. We were there to be in place for a surgery at Stanford. This was just a terrible experience.
