Traffic on Wireless road can be messy at times, but it's not any worse than other part of the city.
So, I'll say it's in a good location.

One thing I'd like to add, though, is that I find rooms needs to be refurbished.
Beeing an Embassy area, the immediate local traffic is not that impressive. Wireless Rd beeing a shortcut, makes it congested at peak hours, as just about every other through road.

As per refurbisment need; I've always been upgraded to Executive Suites where this need wasn't as obvious as other rooms might imply. If not SPG status: pay the little extra for lounge axcess to a very large breakfast, large Hors d'oevres table at Happy Hour, and impeccable service.
