Best rooms
Request a room on an upper floor (4th or 5th) at the back of the hotel, facing away from the street. This reduces street noise and foot traffic from the lobby
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 on the 1st or 2nd floor, especially those overlooking the main road. Street noise and lobby activity will be noticeable
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.
