Overall enjoyable - would return and stay again.
Pros:

Comfortable, attractive - close to everything in town. Able to walk to almost all restaurants, etc. Friendly front desk staff. Nice atmosphere.

Cons:

Did not get trash taken out after first night. Only stayed two nights, but nothing was done to my room after Night 1. Would have appreciated some sort of housekeeping.

Nice place. Could be updated a bit. Chipping paint in rooms.
Pros:

The restaurant was great

Cons:

We asked for clean towels from housekeeping and did not receive them. Asked again and ended up getting them ourselves. Front desk told us we could bring our dirty towels down to them. We left them outside our door.

We enjoyed our time with you. Great location.
Pros:

Everyone was very kind and considerate.

Cons:

The bathroom mirror was not well lit and it was the only one in either room. The TV was small and could not be viewed from the bed.
