The room was spacious and well appointed. It had everything we needed. The balcony was a little bit small, but we were still able to enjoy it. The bed was comfortable and the room is clean.

The room was very well appointed. It had everything we needed. It was spacious enough that we weren’t walking over each other. Everything was very clean. The staff was very helpful day or night. The only drawback for us as a non-partying couple is that on Friday and Saturday night. It was quite loud outside. I should have done more research on the area and realized that it’s pretty busy there.

Small and quaint. Needs some TLC. It may have been cleaner than it looked because of some maintenance that needs to be done, especially in the bathroom. There was a bad odor when you enter the room. You got used to it. But noticed there were plug-in air fresheners all down the hallway. So it smelled good in the hall, which probably made the room smell worse.
