The room was clean and contemporary.
The parking situation was very tight and on a steep hill. The bathroom was also quite small. The sink was attached directly to the toilet. It was very uncomfortable to use for brushing teeth.

The front desk person was very friendly (she even recommended a great local restaurant). The location allows an easy walk into the town for entertainment. Parking was available, though maneuvering was a little tight. I found the room clean and it had a comfortable bed.
I noticed the bathroom could use some updating.
