The room was very clean and furnished well. I love the decor and aesthetics of the hotel, bed was extremely comfortable, place was quiet and right in the middle of downtown. There’s a cool outdoor brewery across the street, some small local cafes and food options. Place is currently renovating but didn’t affect us, was pretty quiet (we were there on a weekend)
