I have difficulty sleeping in hotels if there is noise coming from vending machines, ice machines, noisy neighbors, parties... So, I add a request for a quiet room to my reservation in the comments section.  I guess I forgot to mention street noise on this reservation.  Rooms facing 44th Street get considerable street noise all night.  And, o.k., I get it... we're trying to go green (everyone applaud).  This hotel does not allow you to control heat vs. air conditioning.  Yes, you can set the thermostat, WHEN THE SYSTEM IS TURNED ON, BUT...  When the outside temps are above 70, they turn on A/C.  When they are below 55, they turn on the heat.  When they are in between, everything is shut off.  Can't even get a fan to recirculate the air in the room.  It would be nice to be able to decide for myself whether I need heat or air conditioning, or turn on the fan to circulate air and get some white noise to cover the street noise.  I won't be back.  There are plenty of other choices in the area.
