I recently stayed at The Harrington and found it to be a wonderfully quirky, charming, and fun hotel with a lot of character. The staff were excellent, warm, friendly, and genuinely lovely throughout our stay. The breakfast was fabulous, and the hotel’s central location made exploring the area incredibly easy. I stayed in Room 4 (or possibly Room 8), a triple room with two separate sleeping areas. The room overlooked a busy street, and although the hotel has double windows installed to help dampen noise, and earplugs, the room became very hot when the windows were closed because there is no air conditioning. The fans provided helped cool the room and also offered helpful white noise. The biggest challenge was internal noise. The single bed room’s door opens directly onto the hallway (and the single bed runs along this wall) and every time someone used the stairs or closed a door, the room shook and the noise carried straight in. Parking is also about half a mile away, so it’s best to drop off your luggage first. The cobblestone streets are beautiful, but they’re tough on suitcase wheels. Despite these quirks, I’m still giving five stars because it has so much personality, the staff were truly wonderful, and the hotel has clearly tried to anticipate noise issues with the double windows, earplugs and fans. If you appreciate unique, character-filled places, great service, fabulous location and delicious food, then this hotel is for you. Of note, the hotel info states it is on a quiet street which it is not. However, it is right off “Quiet Street” LOL
