The location was convenient. It was a short walk to several attractions. i appreciated the cleanliness of the room i had. the staff was amiable. They helped with directions and local information.

The room i stayed in needed some updates. The decor felt a bit outdated. the wifi signal was weak in my room. This made it hard to work. noise from other guests was noticeable at times. The walls seemed thin.

Wonderful Stay!

clean premisehelpful ownerbig roomlimited parking

I found the premises clean, comfortable and very well maintained. The owner was beyond helpful. I found him very kind and accommodating. I had a big room that was nice, even with the trek up all the stairs, it was worth it!

The parking is first come, first served outside the hotel, but a space was found at the end of the road. It would be beneficial to know this in advance.
