This was such a wonderful place to stay! The hotel was clean, well-stocked, and made for a really comfortable visit. What stood out the most was the staff—they were genuinely friendly, and you could tell they truly enjoy what they do. It added such a positive vibe to our stay. We didn’t dine at the hotel, but that was only because there are so many great restaurants within walking distance. It’s a perfect location if you like having lots of options nearby. Highly recommend!
