"Noise was unbearable..."
Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel single handedly ruined our vacation. We stayed at this hotel for a conference in the middle of March. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the street. The noise was so loud from the street that we couldn't sleep. The second night we were there a bunch of young guests banged on our room door at 1 am thinking that there was a party in our room. The next morning (St. Patty's Day) we awoke to a large tent with adjacent green lanterns being set up steps from the hotel and a stage right beside it. Needless to say we didn't want another sleepless night and moved to another hotel. 
The rooms were small, and run down. There are much nicer hotels in the gaslamp district for not much more money. Would never return.
