The location is fabulous though a bit hard to find initially as entrance is rather hidden. You can walk to many major attractions. Room small but convenient, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast buffet incredible. We would go there again and recommend to friends.

I booked this hotel in the summer 4 mo in advance and called 6 weeks before my stay to cancel, they refused. They would not refund even 1 of my 3 nights so I lost all the money and didn’t get to stay.

Loved our stay here. We just wanted a clean and quiet place to lay our head in this area. This hotel was exactly that. Tiny room but had everything we needed for our style of trip. We didn’t want to be in our hotel long. Another win was the free cheese and wine Tuesday evening. It was delicious!
