We picked this hotel with some trepidation due to past reviews but since our usual hotel ( Hotel Triton ) was booked up. We also owned art by the artist whose room we stayed in so we decided to give it a try. What a mistake! The art was cool but the noise was intollerable. City trash trucks coming through at 2AM, 2:30 and 3:00 and emptying the dumpsters behind the hotel. The bar in the same alley behind the hotel was noisey and every ten minutes they dumped trash cans full of beer bottles into dumpsters full of bottles. After getting probably 2-3 hours sleep we got up and watched a vagrant pee in the same alley. We promptly checked out and went to the Orchard hotel down the street which was 100 times better.
With this being said, I realize that the hotel cannot control the amount of noise in an alley way, however, they need to be responsible for the comfort of the people in the room. Hence, the room had no A/C or even a fan. In a room that is 10 x 10 foot, a fan would make a huge difference in comfort. Also, if you are going to open a hotel, a little sound-proofing would go a LONG way.
