We expect and are happy, to adjust the temperature for the comfort of our guests. Shari stays up until about 10 pm most nights and is available by text to change the settings . Noise Note: Troy is on a busy rail line that passes several locations within town. It is impossible to stay in the historic part of Troy and not hear the trains😏. Because they pass through residential areas, they are required to sound their horns for safety. It can be a nuisance to hear the horns at night but we have become accustomed to them. Some of our guests have been disturbed by the horns during the night but many guests find them charming and a part of living in the midwest. We do have new windows that muffle the sound a bit and we offer earplugs for guests that are light sleepers.
