The property was an older building, but it had lots of charm. The exterior floor tiles were beautiful, and appropriate for the region. The interior rooms were modern and updated. They were also very roomy and fit 4 comfortably. Not much to complain about, the location was awesome!!!

The hotel is very clean and staff was very nice. I asked for late check in and they accommodated without issue. My only issue is the curtains are very light and outside passerby's could easily peak in.
