Many mentions of a great, central location close to shops and downtown and a generally quiet setting—location is a clear positive for guests.

Several comments about outdated rooms, broken/damaged furniture, a misaligned deadbolt, noisy upstairs guests, and uncomfortable pillows, though beds were sometimes called comfortable; overall room condition is below excellent.

You get what you pay for at this hotel - reasonably priced, but minimal services. Very clean.
Pros:

The site manager, (can't remember his name) on May 20,2026 was very helpful. Very knowledgable; knew the area well and worked with our Booking.com reservation which required extra work for him. He was excellent!

Cons:

1) issue was having a room (happened to be for the handicapped we did't need but rooms were booked for the Memorial weekend). There were no bedside tables to put your phone or tissues on.
2) The master deadbolt would not lock as the door was no longer level, had to be lifted. We made the manager aware.
3)The TV was useless as most channels required a subscription. They need access to network channels for news. CNN only provided older short versions of the news. Frustrating.
