Tiny clean cute hotel room. My only complaint was that for two of the three days I stayed there, the key card machine was not working, so Everytime I left my room, someone from the front desk would have to let me in.

We love staying at this hotel. It’s small but very clean and has a lot of high-tech amenities. The staff is super helpful and helps us research where we want to go if they don’t know off hand.
