Top hotels in West Main Historic District
Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham
It's my fault for not realizing the balconies facing the river are also located above the highway. I was not able to sit outside in the night or morning due to the insane traffic noise. Again, my fault for not researching more. Paid a premium rate for the room and couldn't even use it.
