I can't believe it; so happy to be booking the Hotel Staubbach for THREE nights; and then I saw it on the travel photos. I have a balcony room; there is a building with a clock tower on it. REALLY? Does anyone know how often it rings? My only other trip to Italy was in 2007. I stayed at a Rick Steves recommended hotel in Castelrotto; I arrived late at night and unbeknownst to me, the town's carillon was literally right outside my window. 6 am. I am woken by the loud bells right outside my room; I spent those three mornings all upset because I couldn't go back to sleep. I am a light sleeper and since I'm on vacation, NOT needing to get up early. I don't want the same Castelrotto disaster. Please, none of the "oh, it's Italy; it's to be expected." I have sensitive hearing and having trouble tolerating these things. I hate to switch hotels; and my options are becoming more limited; I may need a room recommendation at the other end, closer to the train station.
Stupid Google Maps....it was showing the wrong hotel. It's still close, but downhill from the hotel. Anyone who has stayed there and can chime in (pun intended); I would appreciate the feedback.
