amazing stay!

safe neighborhood cozy room local attractions
i really enjoyed the safe neighborhood and the proximity to local attractions like the painted ladies! the room was clean and cozy, such a bonus. i kinda wished the towels got replaced more often, though.
The stairs to the second floor were a bit steep. It was kinda unexpected

Adequate Stay

comfy beds clean beds fluffy pillows personal care products stair noise small room no view
The beds were really comfy and clean. The pillows were fluffy. The personal care products provided in the bathroom were a nice touch (I always appreciate that). Aziza was very helpful, and the staff, in general, were good with my queries.
Room number three was right under the stairs, and I heard all the activity on them. I needed to get up early anyway so it did not affect me too much. The room was rather small. There was no good view, so it was a darker room.
