Great location

The hotel is really nice, super location. I can see where the stairs could be a little tough for people, I had no issues with them, as it is just one flight to the front desk and then there was an elevator. The rooms are super tiny, but had everything we needed, bathroom was very nice. Could not have been happier with our choice to stay there

The employees were very nice and helpful. The location was great. The room, however, was extremely small. Also, to get to the reception you need to climb stairs which is difficult with suitcases,
