We booked this on a discount night, and it served us well for a one night/evening stay. You can definitely hear your neighbors, mostly upstairs. It is about the same quality as suite hotels in major chains without many frills, but the neighborhood is safe and within walking distance of many public transit, dining, and drinking options. It's easy to check in and out, and is clean. Our issue was that we were staying in March and it was HOT. We slept with the windows open and the fan on and the heat off. You have access to washers and dryers and a full size fridge, a two-burner, and a sink. Overall, not bad! I wouldn't plan on making this home base unless you're comfortable with very corporate hotel living
