1 Florida City Rated Worst In America For A Good Night’s Sleep

Author Marija

There is nothing better than feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep, but 1 Florida city rated worst in America for that.

I look forward every year to rainy season in Fort Myers. I love the sunshine of course, one of the reasons I moved to Southwest Florida, but when it comes to an afternoon nap or a good night’s sleep, there’s something about a storm that just lulls you right to sleep. Now, I do have a very scared puppy when he hears those cracks of thunder, but last night after I calmed him down, I slept like a baby.

But it can be a variety of things that can contribute to a restful night. Maybe it’s a fan, super cold AC, a sound machine, or the warmth of your partner next to you in bed. No one wants a night of tossing and turning, but it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, there’s 1 Florida city rated worst in America for that.

1 Florida City Rated Worst In America For A Good Night’s Sleep

It’s been so long since I lived in a big city that I kind of forgot just how noisy it can be. I was in New York last summer, just for 1 night, and after hearing honking and sirens at all hours of the night, I was thinking to myself “how does anybody get any sleep around here!?” But then you talk to people that live there, and they say without it that they can’t sleep. So I guess it just depends on what you’re used to. But I prefer the quiet.

A new study conducted by Pure CBD Now looked at the 50 most populated cities in America and the noise levels in each. They looked at both road and airplane noise and the decibels of each. Miami beat out both New York City and Boston for being the loudest with a dBA level of 52.31, the highest in America.

Another Florida city is on the list, however this time for getting the best night’s sleep. Jacksonville came in at #4 for the quietest city with a dBa of 38.96.

7 Of US News "25 Best Hotels in the USA" Are In Florida

  • Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, Surfside, Florida

    The Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club in Surfside, Florida. A legendary Miami Beach-area hotel that offers guests stellar service and unique experiences at its world-class spa ranks No. 2. Now keep in mind, we are in full season here in Florida. These are going to be some of the most expensive rates of the year. That being said, I found an oceanfront room on booking.com for $2,720 a night. That view is incredible.

  • Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort

    Always mentioned as one of the best hotels in the country, this Orlando resort takes the number 7 spot. Perhaps what’s bringing it down a notch is the construction of a residential development nearby. I did see a “construction discount” on the price, so they’re definitely aware of it. It’s still a Four Seasons hotel, and it’s still amazing.

  • Faena Hotel Miami Beach

    Rounding out the top 10 of the list is the Faena Hotel. US News states “Rooms are decorated in a modern, South American style and come outfitted with sleek wooden furnishings and colorful accents.” I did find a room for $1,140 a night, but spring for the extra and get the ocean view and a balcony. Because of the hotel’s location, rates will also fluctuate based on events in the area. 

  • The Setai Miami Beach

    The Setai Miami Beach finds itself at number 11 on the list. If you enjoy the water, you’re in luck. The hotel is not just on Miami Beach, but boasts three on-site infinity pools. I did find a room for $1,080 a night, but expect double that rate if you want the ocean view. This is the ocean view.

  • The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

    Down a few spots, to number 17, is The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort. This resort, 10 miles north of South Beach has amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. And being a Marriott hotel, likely boast some of the cool tech like the W South Beach has like automated controls of the lights, blinds, and thermostat. Best price I could find was $1,299 a night but if you know someone who works for Marriott, ask them about the hotel’s “friends and family” discount. 

  • The Breakers Palm Beach

    Finishing up their top 25 list, at number 25, is The Breakers Palm Beach, an Italian Renaissance-style resort on the coast. if you’re looking for an active stay, this is where you’ll find it. Two golf courses, four pools, and 10 Har-Tru tennis courts. If you’d rather relax, they have a private beach. So, if you want a top notch resort hotel on the Atlantic, but don’t want Miami, here it is. There’s also a lot of history, here. I did see Booking.com have a room for $1,290 a night. But again, I’m writing this in February, when rates are usually the highest. 

    The full list of 25 can be found here.
