The hotel was quiet during the one night I stayed there. The suite was quaint but perfect for my solo stay. The building is “historic” as are most of the buildings in this area, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel also offered free breakfast which consisted of grab and go options like fruit, muffins, tea and coffee.
