The hotel was aesthetically pleasing from the exterior to the common areas. The rooms were a bit dated but clean and well stocked. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I had a decent cup of coffee (available 24 hours) before I left at 5am.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Disliked: Amenities

Location is great and that was my priority. But if you are accustomed to amenities, etc you may be disappointed. For example, some basic items that need some attention: - in shower never gets really warm and the pressure very weak. - My room window looked onto a brick wall about 4 feet away —- for the price I was a bit shocked that I wasn’t at least warned. - And there wasn’t even a complimentary water upon checkin. - there was one particular front desk employee that had a huge RBF. The others were excellent and made you feel welcomed but the one with the RBF brought the energy down.

Quaint Convenience

Quaint Convenience. Everything was great. 1 exception I found annoying. They LOADED the mini fridge drinks. Liquor, Beer, Soda, water. Why is that annoying? Because they don't have ANY signs showing how much everything is AND there was no room for MY water, and MY beer. They're trying to trick you into consuming it. AND on the counter! 2 bottles of cheap wine and 2 bottles of uppity water like Evian. Sneaky! Whatever, smh
