1. Windows open, but there are no screens, and since my room looked down on the second story roof below, open windows let in all the HVAC and other mechanical noise.

"Second visit, different experience " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/18/2012 Vote

2. Although the view was lovely (can see the reservoir at Central Park), the traffic noise interrupted my sleep.

"Unexpectedly nice boutique hotel - UES " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/21/2011 Vote

3. It had great views towards Central Park and down Madison Avenue - one downside was the noise of the traffic as the windows are not that well insulated.

4. Radiator was very hot and made sttange noises.

"Full of strange smells and leaking radiators " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/22/2011 Vote

5. We weren't bothered by any noise.

"WOW! What has happened? " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/5/2010 Vote

6. Being located in an older building with steam radiators for heat, there is a bit of noise from the radiators, but then again nothing terrible.

"Ideosyncratic - But Nice " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/21/2010 Vote

7. Fortunately the windows can be opened, so we did, which cooled down the room but contributed to the street-noise problem.

8. I think management should address the issue of new mattresses where needed, certainly where there are squeaks or other noises.

9. Again, where noise is concerned, you do hear traffic on Madison Ave.

10. I'm a city girl (I actually live in NY, but don't have enough room for all of us in my apartment) and am used to street noise, but it was unusually evident here (fortunately the neighborhood itself is relatively quiet, but traffic and garbage trucks are still easily heard).
