Cute and affordable
I enjoyed the stay. It is close eateries - but don’t count on a late evening. I stayed in a single room w/double/queen bed - not large but I was pleased. My only concern is that there is not 24 hour desk service if you ran into any issues. I did not need to check, but I’m sure there must be someone to contact if there was a problem.
