Though most guests didn't have a complaint, some found that noise from street traffic can be bothersome, but only if you plan to go to bed early. Generally, traffic tends to quiet down after dark. However, if you're a light sleeper, you may want to bring a pair of earplugs as a precaution, and ask for a quieter room away from the roads.
