The free parking at the rear of the hotel was convenient. The location in the heart of town made it easy to explore. Friendly staff provided a very tasty and well-presented breakfast each morning. I really enjoyed being here.

I could hear some noise from deliveries early in the morning, about 5:30 am.

Understaffed and somewhat disappointing

great locationthin towelmissing outlets

The location IS great for exploring the local area.

I had to ask for a larger towel, the one provided was quite thin and small (what IS that about?). There were also no plug outlets near the bed. This made things inconvenient.
