Average stay but usually excellent
I love this hotel and usually give excellent reviews all around. Just a few notes: the morning front desk staff is excellent; I found the evening staff slightly less friendly or helpful; my room was pretty chilly; having an extra blanket in the room would help. Other than that, it was another great stay.

Great value on a budget
It was affordable and quaint. For the size and limits, the price was worth it considering the competition. There’s value there.
