Friendly staff and small little gem tucked away.
Pros:

Staff was super accommodating with my baggage drop, carrying my heavy luggage up the stairs, and letting me change out of my clothes after my arrival to access the room before it was ready. Everything was properly secured and placed inside my bedroom when I returned in the evening. The hotel is in a comfortable, quiet little spot that wasn't a difficult walk to anything and close enough to food spots to run out and come back.

Cons:

Only complaint was the provided wi-fi had a fairly weak connection. I had struggled with staying connected a few times. At some points I had to connect through my mobile hotspot to keep a consistent connection.
