garbage truck nightmare
I have stayed all over the world, travel for business regularly, consider myself a reasonable person, and never write complaints, but I felt compelled to write this one for the sanity of any future guests at the Quincy. The hotel itself is nice and the staff very friendly, but the garbage truck noise problem is indescribably bad. I live in NYC and am used to noise, but the noise outside the Quincy takes it to another level and completely and totally negates all positives of the hotel. 
What sounds like a fleet of garbage trucks arrives on the back side of the hotel early in the morning (before 5am) and the noise doesn't stop for hours. Trucks back up (with the loud beeps), large loads of garbage are dumped, the hydraulics from the compactor in the trucks goes, and engines idle. I'm a good sleeper and I can't imagine anyone sleeping at all with this noise. 
This is clearly outside of the hotel's control, but the noise is so bad that it feels negligent that guests aren't given a heads up about it.
