We had a wonderful stay! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The check-in process was quick and seamless, which we really appreciated. The only small challenge was that the the door was a bit difficult to navigate at first, but we were able to figure it out. Felt a little uneasy with it! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back!

The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We were in brown bear and the window looking out on the street was gorgeous for looking at the fall colors and people walking by. It’s location is ideal to walking everywhere.
