I'm not sure if we just were unlucky with the room but there was a fairly loud noise coming from the bathroom that seemed to be from the hotel HVAC system, it was loud enough to be bothersome at night when trying to get to sleep, even with the door closed. That being said the rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a view of the park and very convenient location to downtown attractions and the staff were very courteous. I would stay there again if the noise could be mitigated.
