The owners were very kind and helpful when it came to parking and also recommending things to do in the area. The room was clean and had everything I needed and it was quiet. Great location- there’s a delicious sushi shop and a cafe with great coffee and pastries that you can access in the hotel. Highly recommend staying here!
