If you are a light sleeper, be sure to request a room that is not on the same side as the 4th Street Live, especially on weekends, because the music and crowds can be loud and may go late into the evening. Surprisingly enough, this holds true for even the upper floors. In addition, as with most hotels in big cities, the airport aircraft traffic will be noticeable as well as the street traffic. The three elevators in the hotel are quick and efficient and did not present any undue noise that might disturb the rooms that are located near them.
