Clean room, comfortable bed and easy walk to town. The bathroom could use an upgrade, but they were clean. A few stains on the rug, but not terrible. Housekeeping supplied new towels and made the beds each day. Breakfast served was very simple.

Liked: Cleanliness
Our stay was fine, we think the price does not match the hotel. We paid about $500 a night at the end of September for a clean room, nothing to write home about. It’s definitely walkable but the complimentary “breakfast” was laughable. Fruit flies, croissants and a few stale bagels that was about it.
