The cable cars are indeed quaint, but those who are not heavy sleepers should keep in mind that the last cable car departure from in front of the hotel is at 1:00 a.m. There is an arrival or departure about every 10 minutes late at night. And the bells on them are fairly loud. What's "charming" at 6 p.m. can be very disruptive to sleep at midnight or later. There is only a small percentage of rooms in this great hotel which would be affected by this noise.
