Good value for the money
The front desk personnel are friendly and welcoming. Our room was fine. It had all that we required. Clean and well thought out. I found the mattress less than great. Not terrible just not great.

Cute room. Our only complaint was the room wreaked of marijuana the whole time we were there. Almost as if someone had been smoking in our room while we were gone. It’s a safe bet that the room right below us is where it was coming from.
