Avoid at all costs...
The irony was not lost on me. America truly has one of the worst public transport systems in the world, but here I was unable to sleep due to the noise coming from that public transport system !
Now, I'm used to living near a railway line, in fact about 200 yards away from 4 tracks of London/Brighton mainline where trains come through at 100+mph 24/7. New, quiet, electric trains that are virtually silent running on welded rails with concrete sleepers. But this is something else. Railways here have old, heavy, noisy diesel trains that insist of using horns, bells, whistles, flashing lights. They still appear to have bolted rather than welded rails, wooden sleepers, noisy manual points. And the trains not only travel through the middle of the town - they cross roads that have level crossings with bells and lights as well. So, you have the noise of the crossings AND the noise of the trains ! American trains travel a lot slower than their European cousins, fire their horns a LOT more. Even the tram line alongside sounds it's horn at every level crossing as well - this is a perfect storm of noise. 
I am a great fan of train travel - I will always take the train over car or plane if possible, but this is something else. I would LOVE for America to catch up to the rest of the world and have a proper rail network.
But I'd rather that it wasn't built through the middle of my hotel. 
IF it wasn't for the terrible location, this hotel would get a clear 5 stars - however, the whole purpose of a hotel is to SLEEP and REST in, and that wish was rendered unattainable.
