Was very happy with our stay. Super quiet place and very comfy. Free parking was awesome and a 15 min walk to tons of restaurants. The room was very clean. My only little nit pick was the pillows were a little thin. The Girlfriend and I plan on coming back again next year!

Comfortable. Good neighborhood. Friendly staff. Breakfast. My room was clean but a bit dusty. However, it seems to be an HVAC or maybe old carpeting issue.
