Nice & Clean - but V.Loud at lower floors
Spent the weekend here and our first impressions were good, until the Huge Train rolled through about 100ft away from the Hotel sounding it's horn and generally making the entire hotel shake. Not much they can do about that obviously, but that wasn't the only noise complaint. Our Balcony room on the 5th floor was overlooking the Hardrock Hotel entrance, which appeared to be a gathering area for the smokers, plus the Music and general Noise from that corner of the street meant it was impossible to leave the balcony door open and enjoy the fresh air. Staff / Service was good, room was a little small, yet very clean and well looked after. We were a little disappointed that a newer 4 Star hotel such as this still had a small screen CRT TV and not a larger Flat Screen. Nice location, close to the Gas Lamp Quarter / 6th Ave area. All in All I'd probably give this place 3½ stars if Half Stars were possible, but moving to 3 stars for our particular lower level (5th floor) room due to the noise. Definitely ask for a higher floor and don't bother with the Balcony.
