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.

differentiator 2 reviews mention this

Pricing is substantially lower

Pricing appears far below county and state benchmarks across unit types.

The published price ranges come in well under the county and state comparisons for multiple room types. Reviews also include a critique that the stay felt too expensive for what was experienced, but the overall reported ranges indicate pricing is positioned as a value versus the wider benchmarks used for comparison.
