caveat 9 reviews mention this

Noise from trains near the property

Train noise is a recurring consideration for sleeping comfort.

Multiple reviewers mention trains running near the property, describing it as something you may hear at night. Some people say the noise did not bother them or that they got used to it, while others recommend earplugs for lighter sleepers. A few reviews also connect the trains with vibration or loud whistles, making it a noticeable factor for some guests.

caveat

Wi-Fi and outlet access issues

Connectivity and electrical outlet placement can be inconvenient.

Some reviews report that Wi‑Fi is spotty or not reliable, including cases where the signal wasn’t available during the stay or only worked when closer to the office. Outlet access is also mentioned, with reviewers noting limited outlets near bedside areas and having to use extension cords. Together, these comments point to a practical setup challenge for people who rely on devices overnight.
