The staff was friendly. My room included two double beds in separate rooms. The hotel accommodated a late checkout request cheerfully.

The building is quite old.

clean hotelamazing staffstellar recommendation

I got a Standard Queen Room, and it was really spacious. The price felt very fair for such a nice, clean hotel! Bob at the front desk was amazing. He gave me stellar recommendations for cafes nearby.

My room's layout felt a little odd, and it was hard to get comfortable without moving things around!
