2. There was also street construction going on outside the hotel (which the front desk says happens quite often) but it was a minor inconvenience walking around it and we definitely didn't notice it causing any noise issues inside the hotel.

6. Plus, there were games going on at the Garden so even at night when construction wasn't bothering us we had the loud noise of all the fans exiting the Garden and pouring into the streets below us.

7. The only thing being, there was MAJOR construction going on right outside our window so by opening it up to get air we let even more of the loud noises of construction in our room.
