On arriving I was provided a room on the 7th floor on the southern side. Room was good, nice office area, however it was quite noisy...and the window had dislocated from the frame so there was a noticeable gap...which is why I could hear traffic as if I was outside. I complained and was provided another room, this time on the 10th floor..1027....I have never slept in a more noisy room....I literally had to sleep with earpods till about 11pm...and then take them out...still noise but went to sleep with earplugs....the traffic, wind, ocean all provided a constant barrage of noise...I will never EVER stay here and would not recommend this hotel to anyone...maybe I had a bad room??? but even so...final comments...if you want a quiet nights sleep, maybe stay somewhere else.
