Best rooms
Request a room on a higher floor (above 5th floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's lower floors may experience more noise from the street and nearby restaurants on East Market Street.
Request a top-floor room at the back of the hotel (facing inland, away from Rockville Road). With no lift mentioned, a third- or fourth-floor room at the rear minimises street noise and footfall.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance (typically rooms 101-150) as they may be noisier due to the high foot traffic and potential disruptions from delivery and service staff.
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the front entrance and any rooms directly facing Rockville Road. The ground level will pick up lobby chatter and car park activity.
