A lot of noise comes from traffic and between rooms and floors. Ear plugs provided in bathroom. That’s a first for me of 69 years. Pricy for average hotel.

I booked a room with a king bed and got one with 2 queens. It reeked of cigarettes. At 7 in the morning a staff member or random guy walked into our room while we were sleeping. Would never stay at this hotel again.
