main street location secure parking quiet room
The location on the main tourist street made it very easy to explore. The hotel provided secure parking behind the building. I really appreciated how quiet and comfortable the room was even being so central.
The breakfast selection was somewhat basic.

i found the staff quite helpful. they gave excellent recommendations for local dining. the hotel's location is central. i appreciated the secure parking facility.
the bottom sheet did not fit the bed properly. it came off because it was not tucked in. i think there should be mattress protectors under the sheets.

helpful staff clean hotel central location dusty curtains uncomfortable bed high parking cost
The staff were very helpful, and the hotel was clean. I found it great that the hotel is in the heart of the city. I was within walking distance of many sights and amenities.
Unfortunately, the curtains were dusty, and this affected my overall perception. the bed was not comfortable, it tended to sink in the center. I thought the cost of parking was too high!
