This was absolutely the quietest hotel I've ever stayed in. It was very busy, but you couldn't hear doors close, anyone talking, any traffic, any bathroom sounds or anyone's television! We are extremely impressed. Furthermore, the breakfast offerings included fruit, yogurt, and the best hot cinnamon rolls ever!
