Madame,
Re: beachview hotels in town that are quiet
In town, the drag behind the beachview hotels can be noisy. So, if you want a beachview, you may have to put up with a bit of noise that is, unless you are on the beachview side of the hotel, of course. So, be sure to book it that way.

Me.. it never bothered me. I actually love street noise. I sleep like a rock, so it doesn't bother me, but it the last thing I hear when I fall asleep (drunk) and when I awake in the morn. Love the sound of hustle/bustle. Ahhhhh� someday, I'll be rich enough to live in Manhattan where I can hear it every day.
