This hotel is an older building, and for the most part, you get what you'd expect from an older, charming building. We didn't expect it to be super quiet; we're not unrealistic. However, I would caution against staying here on trash pick-up day. We stayed on a Thursday night, and at 4 am, the trash company came by to pick up the trash, and I counted more than 30 trash cans on the street visible from our window. It was LOUD and lasted on & off for almost an hour as the truck made its way through the city streets. Another challenge is the lack of presence of front desk staff. We checked in at 3 pm, and they were already gone for the day; the next morning, by the time we left at 9 am, there was still no one there. Technically speaking, we weren't in dire need of assistance; it just didn't feel right to not have anyone there. All of this being said, we still managed to enjoy our stay, and if it weren't trash day, we would have been just fine with our stay.
