Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is in a great location, but very mundane overall. We had a relatively small room for the price we paid. Small matters such as plastic cups in the bathrooms, lack of conditioner in the shower or skin moisturizer in the bathroom are notable in comparison to other hotels where we have stayed. Very limited television options, even just for news. Overall, the hotel serves a purpose and was safe, but it’s not a place I would go out of the way to use again.

We had a member of our party with an accidental fall and the staff were very helpful with what they had of a first aid kit and ice. Parking is nearly impossible in the area but otherwise it is a quaint area that feels lovely and very safe.
