Historic charm comes with noise
Historic building charm is balanced by recurring noise and quirky room details.
Several reviews mention the building’s age—such as creaky floors and train noise—which can affect sleep. Others describe room-specific challenges like difficulty cooling, windows not working as expected, or privacy concerns that require extra steps. While many still enjoy the atmosphere, the noise and older-building quirks show up often enough to be a consistent tradeoff.
