But, if one is placed right at the beginning of the hall, say first 2-3 room of each of three floors, it's IMO a nightmare - full on view of nothing but a loading dock with trash dumpsters not only the full view but full smell, and noise from early AM trash pickup and F&B deliveries.
That said, points book into those rooms, and as a Diamond I've NEVER been given any of those rooms.
I'm amazed at that smell, walking down the stairs there. Overall, the hotel is so polished that I'm really surprised they haven't figured out some other solution to this problem.
I have wondered if the smell gets into the nearby rooms. I'm fortunate enough to have never been given a room right there. But that water dispenser is convenient, so we often stop there. Man, it can get rank.
