Very Noisy, No Sleep

The hotel itself was nice, very clean and service was good. Plus the location by the City Mall was great in that you have plenty of restaurants to pick from. However, the hotel is located on a very busy road and window insulation for sound is very poor. So you could hear every motorcycle, truck or emergency vehicle that goes by. Probably the worst sleep I've every had at a hotel. Also, the bed was very hard.
