Right in the center of it all but somehow still quiet. The open patio has a great view! Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a room off the street. The curtain was dirty, the walls were dirty but the bedsheets and floors were clean. It’s 8/10 on cleanliness. I wouldn’t want to stay more than a night. It’s more for the location.
