Nice hotel, great location. The room and overall hotel was clean. You can tell that the property needs some updates by the chipped paint, rust, and rickety elevator. That takes away from the charm of the hotel but not a dealbreaker. It’s still worth a visit. They include free breakfast and a complimentary wine happy/social hour. Looks like it’s a daily thing too :) don’t quote me though, ask the hotel.
