It was very loud. It might just be the room placement. Near elevator, the doors slammed and made a lot of noise. Woke up throughout the night. I stayed on the 4th fl.

Stay was good, room was clean and very nice. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. The construction worried me, but we did not have any issues with this during the trip. I would love to have a buffet breakfast included with the stay and was not a big fan of the "oak" smelling soaps. Other than this, it was a great place to stay.
