I stayed here during the summer (late June). Two nights a week they had some sort of summer dance party going on. It was terribly noisy because of the constant thumping of the bass from the music. If I recall correctly, when the dance was on a week night, the music thumped until 11 pm. If it was a weekend night (Fri or Sat) it went until 1 am. The rest of the nights were quiet. I will not stay here again because it was not quiet those two nights each week. I was at this hotel 12 days so was able to 'enjoy' 4 nights of bass shaking the building. To answer your other question, the hotel is very close to public transportation. I loved the convenience. They also had a good breakfast buffet that had a nice variety of foods.
