Cute little place in a great location.
Pros:

The decor and the arrangement of communal spaces

Cons:

It’s more on us than on the hotel but we didn’t fully pay attention to the fact that an elevator for guests wasn’t available. Usually wouldn’t have been an issue but I was 8 weeks out from a knee surgery when our stay occurred. Was able to make it up and down but just took a lot longer than normal to do so.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the services
Pros:

For the price, the room and services were fantastic!

Cons:

The surrounding area at night could be sketchy and there is no elevators in this hotel, so carrying larger luggages may not be a smart decision
