Good place to stay
Stayed one night. The room was clean and comfortable but a little bit worn. We had a street side room that was only a little noisy.

Cozy gem
I love the Blake! Took a while for The hot water in the very nice shower to come on and the toilet had some Flushing issues. But I will be back to this cozy gem.
