Light sleepers should avoid lower floors.

BlackBook "Who says frugal can't be fun? MODA's sleek reno pairs century-old tile floors with designer colors and linens in a hopping downtown location."
Frommer's "The lobby has a beautiful mosaic tile floor and photos of the hotel in its early days...guest rooms are clean and elegant, with ingenious use of space, and a modern Italian design" Full review
