Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Simple upkeep and some thoughtful additions like hooks in the bathroom and by the door would make this place a little better. Fix the broken bathroom faucets in rm 402–why does a customer have to tell you this?!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
When I booked I let them know it was my friend’s bday, and they had a hand written birthday card, along with a few thoughtful treats.
Every part of our visit was wonderful. The staff was so thoughtful. And the room was gorgeous.
Will definitely stay again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. It was a little loud out on the street late at night, but the hotel itself was reasonably quiet.
No complaints here! It was everything I wanted for our vacation: walkable to everything we needed, clean, quiet, friendly staff, free coffee! I would recommend and stay again!!
