Great place to stay. Easy check in. We were able to bring our dogs with us which was a highlight for us. Cute and cozy place. The only thing we would report is the step into the bathroom. There is a hazard strip on it to alert you going into the bathroom, but nothing to remind you of the step going out of the bathroom. Great location. Only minutes from downtown and great food
