Rooms are quiet, well appointed with amenities like a small stove top, microwave oven, refrigerator and dishwasher with dinnerware dining area.The bathroom is spacious. The bed is big and comfy. Staff are courteous and helpful. The dining room has a lovely, cozy ambiance with full service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A bonus for dog lovers is that it’s also pet friendly. The location is convenient to downtown and very walkable. I would definitely stay there again.
