Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The external parts look a little weird right now, and the pool is closed because it's under construction. But the room was freshly renovated and very comfy. The rooms are small as far as I can tell, as it is a small hotel and it is in a very high demand area. But for the size it was lovely. And perfect for my needs. Very very clean and comfortable Very very clean

I found the accomodations adequate ... it met my need for a one night stay. Thought the shower tile floor could be cleaner. And, at 4:00 AM their was a mechanical noise that would last about 15 seconds and repeat ever two or three minutes. Sounded like a water value.

While the room and staff were wonderful, I wish I would have known the hotel was under construction. Pool and hot tub were closed. That would have been a game changer. How bout a set of pillows? Helen
