Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We traveled as a family of four adults. The hotel was in a great location and was very clean! The staff was so kind and helpful! We only got ready and slept in our room so the fact that it was on the smaller side didn’t bother us at all! It is a historic building in the middle of the city so it is charming and to be expected. There was a lot of seating in the breakfast area which was great! Parking is a garage that is directly next door so very convenient. We would stay here again for sure!
