This was such a gem! Location was unbeatable and there was plenty of parking. Loved how walkable everything was and the room itself was very clean, cozy, and had a super comfortable bed. I even loved how it had free breakfast! Such a top notch place to stay. I hope to stay here again some day!

Very friendly service . Loved how close it was to downtown. The only thing didn’t like was walls are thin and I’m light sleeper and wish continental breakfast was better. The market deli place next door had delicious things so we were close to all conveniences including lovely bakery
