Will definitely stay at this location again. Love that it has a kitchenette. The location is walkable to many of the city’s attractions, and has several city bus stops close by that are easy to catch for attractions farther away. It’s around the corner from a little shop called the Birdcage which has pastries, groceries, and anything you may have forgotten.

Quaint 2 story hotel renovated rooms with kitchenettes supplied with your needs and although no elevator, easy stairs to walk up. Next door to museum! You can walk to it no problem. Air conditioned too! Very tight parking area but they are well designated and in behind the hotel. There wasn’t a restaurant or breakfast there but the area has many anyway. It was a very reasonable price compared to other hotels in the area. It was a pleasant stay😊

Friendly desk clerk and good instructions with where the room located. Easy and convenient. Our room didn't have air conditioning, so on the only hot day, was a bit toasty. Also, soaps can be a bit larger for the shower. :)

The suite was clean and confortable. The area was walkable and convenient. I was hoping there would be a patio/balcony or some sort of an outdoor space near our suite but there was not. The housekeeping team in the laundry area were very noisy with loud talking.
