Additional Notes:
- Sound insulation: The Asticou Inn has a number of items that tend to make it noisy. One is the beautiful wood floors. Unlike thick carpet, they don't insulate noise very well, plus they tend to amplify the room noise. The street the Inn is located on is reasonably busy, and you can hear the street noise in the rooms facing the street. If you are a light sleeper it is strongly recommended that you reserve a “ocean view” room, they are on the back of the Inn away from the street. Ask the staff to recommend a quiet room when you make your reservation. There are portable fans in each room which do a good job of masking minor noise. We stayed in an ocean view room and it was quiet. Remember, the quietness of a room is pretty subjective. Much depends on how noisy the folks in the adjacent room are. We suggest you always take along ear plugs when visiting historic hotels or inns.
- 3-prong outlets: The rooms have standard 120 VAC grounded electrical outlets.
- Disclaimer: The information above is a combination of information provided by the hotel and things we observed when we visited. Many of these items are subject to change at any time and we make no guarantee that the above information is accurate. Please send us an email if you notice something above is not correct. Thank you!
