First, stay alert, because if you blink you will miss it! We drove past it twice because we didn't see it. But once we found it, we were pleasantly surprised. It's a quaint, vibey little hotel within walking distance to great downtown restaurants and entertainment. Yes, the rooms are small, but it was clean, had everything we needed, and the bed/pillows were extremely comfortable. Plus, breakfast is included and there's free parking across the street on weekends. It's a great hotel for the price. One note, it says it's a pet friendly hotel, but there's nowhere for dogs to relieve themselves outside, which is a problem. That's the only reason I gave four stars instead of five.

I had a wonderful stay here. Great location, walkable to everything, the staff was friendly and accommodating, room was clean, bed is comfortable, it’s quiet, and they always kept the refreshment area will cold infused water and coffee. Would stay here again and recommend. They also have complimentary bikes to ride around town.
