We loved our stay at The Gin. The front desk was helpful and kind when we arrived. She gave us helpful advice about the area. There were several cute shops in walking distance as well. The room was clean and had a nice size bathroom. The hotel is older and has a nice historic vibe. The balcony restaurant upstairs was a nice place to eat and get a great street view.
