Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-5) and those facing Main Street, as they may be noisier due to the street traffic.
Best views
Rooms on the higher floors (above 10th floor) facing east or west may offer views of the surrounding cityscape, while those on the north side may have views of the adjacent buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 11-15 are likely to be quieter due to their distance from the main street and potential street noise.
