Room is too noisy.
We stayed at room 326. The room is close to the road and was very very noisy. My wife lost her sleep the whole night.
wonder if the windows are sound-insulated.

On our first night we had a room on the highway side. Lots of noise! The hotel moved us directly across the hall without question. Convenient to Old Town where we were visiting family.
