Did it work for our trip yes. Would we return, probably not. It was fine, but not as charming as it could be.
Pros:

Excellent location! Could be so much more. Very charming on the outside.

Cons:

Not the cleanest. There was a giant spider in our room. No where to put our garbage. Weird front desk hours and front desk staff not super helpful or friendly. Parking not convenient. Rooms need updating.
