Excellent Stay!

convenient locationexcellent comfortcute staff
The hotel boasts a convenient location, a short walk from key attractions. I found the bed and pillows provided excellent comfort for a restful night. The cleanliness of the room was perfect, I really appreciated that. The staff members were very cute and helpful. They were always available to assist with any requests.
The parking was limited, I found it challenging to secure a spot at times.

the room was modern and clean, so it was easy enough to find things.
the flooring felt damp after a shower because there were no windows i could open and the fan didn't remove enough steam, not ideal.
