All of the rooms with exterior windows are loud all day and night long. Single pane glass with cabbies constantly blowing their horns, rumbling busses, arguments, Jamaicans singing Bob Marley and playing the stick & box. If you want a quiet room request the rooms off the street in the northeast quadrant of the building, 4th floor and above. No exterior windows will keep the 5 am sunrise out as well that is pretty annoying when you go to bed at 4 am.
Excellent accurate description but unlikely HDR will hire you to pen their website...
You forgot the occasional gunshot....I've stayed there off and on for years and at least once I was woken up in the middle of the night by gunshots...
Those rooms you recommended are the best. Technically, if quiet is essential, the interior room would probably be the quietest, but it feels like a gigantic closet to me, so if you're the least bit claustrophobic, make sure you get a window room in the Northeast region, even third floor if 4 and 5 are filled is ok. 2nd floor anywhere is like sleeping in the lobby...
