Overall was a great experience and staff was helpful and great during our visit. Although when calling before arriving wasn't a pleasure experience either due to not understanding the person or may have been the phone which sounded so far and static. Free coffee was offer during our stay which was awesome.

Good overall. Not for the light sleeper, can hear every car, truck, horse, people who pass by. You can also hear everything that goes on in the hallway. But it’s a cute old hotel. Staff were nice and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay in the O'Brian Hotel, even though it was only for one night. It is a lovely, old, historic hotel, with nothing fancy, but just what we wanted. The location close to the river walk was erfect. The street below was busy and loud until quite late- but that was my only complaint.
