Nice location, clean, No AC, remote "customer serv

Hotel was very clean. However, they do not have a place to sstore luggage pre- or post-check-in so you have to take it 3 blocks up hill to the companion hotel. There is also no airconditioning and no windows to open. Our room was warm and stuffy so we slept with the outside door (second floor!) open. Good location in town and very clean. Not wild about remote hotel staff conact only. call me old fashioned.

Doesn’t light up your life!

The bathroom lighting was extremely poor. We were there for a wedding and got ready with poor lighting. It was awful. My sister who was in another room had no mirrors in the room. We had to go out to buy mirrors. Not sure if we would come back to this hotel.
