No soundproofing, bring earplugs
Noisiest hotel I've ever stayed in. Could hear every footstep above us, every conversation in the hall, every neighboring toilet flush. Any doors on our floor closing sounded like they were coming from across the hall with our door open.
It's got a cool modern aesthetic, and it's really convenient to southwest campus, but if I hadn't brought earplugs I would have gotten no sleep.

Pleasant stay
Our room was pleasant and well laid out. Our only concern was the confusion on where to check in - turned out it was not on the ground floor. The elevators were also confusing - digital and you had to select floor before getting on...Breakfast wasn't included; you could buy premade sandwiches.
