After finally figuring out how to get to the hotel, it was acceptable. The room was fairly small, but the bed was comfortable, and wifi worked well. The room did have a large bathtub that was really nice, and the towels were better quality than expected. A decent value accommodation.

Good parking. Friendly and helpful check-in. Building condition "adequate" with chipped paint and walls. Our lavatory paper holder was missing - torn off the wall. Bedding and towelling nicely clean.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door to my room, quaint, just remodeled, very clean with a wonderful heater/ac unit and clean fridge. No hair blow dryer, glad I brought mine, but overall, 5 STARS the price was right too!
