Great hotel, bring your own pillow

Very clean, nice staff. The "pillows" are in much need of replacement unless you like what equates to a towel in a pillow case

Walkable but Worn Out

The room is extremely worn. The area is very noisy, loud live music until after 10 on Thursday night. Location was very walkable.

Cute and comfortable place in a great location

We didn't expect many amenities from this 2-star inn, but it did meet our other expectations: clean, comfortable, and safe. It exceeded our expectations when we walked in and saw how spacious the room was, and then how it was within walking distance to shopping at Heavenly and other restaurants. Only stayed one night, so had minimal staff interactions, but they were super friendly.

I stayed here for a week to attend a course. The location is great and I loved the size of the fridge in my room as it enabled me to keep the food on hand I needed for breakfast and lunch. The room was spacious and clean but the bed a bit soft. All in all, for the price it’s great value and I’d stay here again.

Adequate

Room was clean. Could use updating. Pool was not open and there was no mention of that on the website (at least nothing I saw).
