Property is a little dated, but in a prime location and very walkable to everything in town. The balcony was great and the view was unbeatable.There is a dedicated parking spot for each room and additional parking on the street if needed. The only downside for us was the staff barely acknowledged us at check in or check out and were just very aloof.

George

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean, location in proximity to the town was great and it certainly met our need. However, the reason for my rating was the price, being one of the more expensive hotels we stayed in yet the room was quite small. Pictures on-line were deceiving, yet perhaps there are better equipped and spacious rooms available other than Room 6 that was arranged for us.
