"We had a very nice large king bedroom. We were on the fourth floor facing out over the main entrance on Temple Street. Everything was great until bedtime. The street noise was terrible!! Cars and motorcycles revving their engines, people on the street yelling and fighting in the street until the bars closed…I am sure rooms on higher floors and facing other direction might be fine but beware."
