charming stay close to everything!

central locationcute atmospherebathroom privacy
The location was superb, easily accessible to many attractions! i loved that the breakfast was very complete. It made mornings much easier. the staff were friendly and accommodating. i would come back anytime!!!
My only slight issue was that the bathroom offered minimal privacy. The frosted glass walls allowed silhouettes to be visible. it would be nice to have a bit more separation.
