2. The rooms are not sound proof and some of them do not have air conditioning which made me have to open the window and I had to sleep with the outside noise.

4. Lots of 'noise' (cable cars, traffic, people etc) but nothing that kept us awake & its part of the SF experience.

"Perfect Location " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/14/2012 Vote

5. Can't really complain except for a couple minor issues: 1) it was our honeymoon and I was hoping to be given a decent size room and although we wanted a room away from the street (away from the noise that some reviews mentioned) the pay off was the size.

6. As others have said, the cable cars and other street noises are noticeable but they were charming rather than disruptive when heard from high up in the building.

7. Some noise from the street which is usual in most large cities in a downtown location but we slept well.

8. The room was on the small side and somewhat noisy at times due to street noise, but I expected this and it was not an issue.

9. I got great sleep here (and I'm sensitive to new noises), so that wasn't a problem with my stay.

"The 'No Frills' room is definitely no frills, but does the job! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/2/2012 Vote

10. Maybe if you are sensitive to noise, request a room away from the Powell Street side of the hotel.
