No closets in the room, we were in town for a wedding, so we had lots of what we call "hanging up cloths." Parking was a Challange. If you ever left in your car, someone was always in your tiny space when you came back. We did enjoy the location and its walkability to restaurants.

This was an extremely cute and new feeling spot! I say it feels new because it is pristinely clean, like it was just built. This is in great walking distance to shops and restaurants.
