Best rooms

Request rooms on the south side (away from East Thomas Road) to reduce street noise. Higher floors (4th-6th) offer better views and quieter conditions, as the hotel likely has 6-7 floors based on a typical 3-star midtown tower.

Request a room on the west side of the building, away from East Thomas Road. Upper floors (3rd and above) in that wing reduce street noise and offer quieter sleep. If the hotel has a rear courtyard, rooms facing it are best.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on north and east sides facing East Thomas Road—traffic noise from this arterial street is significant. Also avoid ground-floor rooms due to lobby and street activity.

Stay clear of ground-floor rooms, especially those facing East Thomas Road. The 4727 address is on a busy arterial, so lower-level front rooms get traffic rumble, headlights, and early morning trash collection noise. Also avoid rooms near the lift lobby or ice machines on any floor.
