Clean, quiet, comfortable, well maintained, very reasonably priced, very close to but somewhat separate from the touristy areas. Food, shopping, things to do within walking distance. Laundry available. Staff helpful and generally available, or just a front desk phone call away. Would definitely stay again.

We liked that it is nice and quiet and they let us do an early check-in. What we didn’t like was that the electrical room was right beside our room and when we were in the hall, there was a bad smell that smelled like a dead rat.

Vince

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a large, quiet room and comfortable bed. Breakfast choices were very limited. Only complaint was that when what I will assume to be owners or management wanted to get a hold of the front desk person they yelled his name out multiple times, instead of calling him or looking for him. He was responsible for vacuuming and other things, so he was not at the front desk all the time. I feel a more polite way of summoning him would have been more professional.
