Travelocity Verified Review
"The room was clean and staff was really friendly. The location is amazing and we were able to walk everywhere. We also enjoyed the hot chocolate and coffee in the morning. The room did get a little warm because there is no AC and the open window wasn't getting the cool air from outside. This was at the end of December on cold days so keep that in mind during the Summer. There was a portable fan in the room that helped a little. Street noise was REALLY Loud at night, and window had to be open due to no AC. There must be a bar near the street because you could hear glass being dumped frequently and a lot of street noises until very late. "
