Great place, one block off main road so you’re close to everything but it’s quiet.

It was good overall.
Pros:

Didn't do breakfast, but it looked good. Coffee was good. Leaving car parked and walking to everything. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Bathroom too small, cosmetics and stuff had moisture on them after taking shower with door closed, had to leave it open. Pillows were small and uncomfortable.

Staff was Wonderful - Faciities not so much.
Pros:

The staff was wonderful. They were the best part of our stay. The linens and towels were clean but the room and general facilities were pretty run down.

Cons:

I was unprepared for the age and general upkeep of the room. Although clean, it was older and run down. It was surprising.
