1. There is a lot of street noise, then again I'm on the second floor.

"Front desk staff was nice during my 12am check-in! But very loud street noise " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/30/2012 Vote

2. Fortunately there weren't any events at the Garden during our stay so we did not encounter any street noise at night although our room was on the second floor and we had blissful and restful sleep on all nights.

3. The walls were very thin and the bar noise woke us up - we stayed on the Friend Street side.

"Disappointing " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/22/2012 Vote

4. The rooms are either not sound proofed or poorly done, so that you can hear all the street noise post-game and then again when the bars close.

5. Our room was over front door (5th floor) and we did NOT hear any noises on street or from any other rooms.

6. Guests need to be aware ahead of time of the potential location noise and the fact that this is NOT a 4 or 5 star property.

7. I suggest making sure to pack earplugs if you are a light sleeper or are bothered by boisterous noise.

8. I was upgraded to a larger room - huge room (even compared to other suburban locations) but tiny bathroom- definitely good value whether paying cash or using points- noise (from the bar patrons on the streets outside) is an issue but not too bad for me as I was on the top floor.

"Not Bad " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/9/2011 Vote

9. This hotel is close to everything and is great but once the game got out the noise level increased throughout the night with the bars in the area overall we had a good experience and would book for next bruins game.
