We loved the people, but will not stay here again.
Pros:

The people were amazing. Everyone treated us with kindness and respect. Customer service was excellent.

Cons:

The sheets didn’t feel or smell clean, the towels were very thin, the toilet made noise all the time, sound coming from the street kept us awake - even with the window closed, the lighting was very poor.
