It worked out in the end
We stayed here 4 nights; the first night was horrible; the room was hot and muggy, bath tub was dirty, sink was slow to drain, bed sheets showed heavy ware and the A/C sounded like a helicopter (I didn't sleep at all). 
Early the next morning I went down and requested another room, and it was as if we moved to a new hotel. Although the decor was identical, the new room was fresh and cool, with none of the problems of the first room, and from that point on our stay was enjoyable.
You can hear some noise coming from rooms as you walk the halls, but when we were in our room we did not hear our neighbors at all. The breakfast was just okay, they had the usual; breads, cereal, juice, coffee, yogurt, limited fruits, and waffles. The lobby, and pool area are nice, although the one night we were able to take the kids to the pool it was crowded with teenagers; which was fine.
The location was great, close to shopping, medical center, museum district, parks, zoo, etc...
