I would stay here again. I felt 100% safe as a female solo traveler
Pros:

The location of the property was the best part. And the gentleman who works the front desk and makes breakfast! He gave me a map asked me what u wanted to do and suggested ways to get around. He went above and beyond what he needed to. I truly appreciate him.

Cons:

No refrigerator in the room. The bathroom door is very heavy and does not stay open on its own.

Good comfortable but let down by check out
Pros:

Comfortable bed and clean room.
Good location and relatively quiet given how central it was. Overall a nice stay.

Cons:

Very frustrating that I couldn’t find a staff member when leaving in the morning as I wanted to store my bag with them for a few hours (luggage storage is advertised). I rang the bell a few times and waited at reception for quite a while before giving up and leaving. Also noticed that suitcases were left in the reception area unsecured- I could have just walked away with them (but obviously didn’t)! I didn’t think that was very secure for luggage storage.
