Very cute room and clean! Wish there were blackout curtains instead of shutters considering a street light was right outside my window. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant stay.

Great room. Modern decor and an awesome shower. For the price this room cannot be beat. one minor cons. Traffic noise. One a main street. Maybe one of the rooms near the back of the building would be better.

The staff are friendly. Mill Avenue is a busy street but I didnt mind the traffic. Rooms are comfy and clean! Renovated. AC is perfect. Room has a small fridge but no microwave. Nice cable stations. Close vicinity to dine and shop. I stayed five nights here. Rooms were cleaned each day. Price was reasonable. I would definitely stay here again.

Cute and comfy

The staff was fantastic. The hotel is well kept. It's small and cute. Parking is very tight, which makes sense given the location. And there is considerable road noise, but there's nothing a hotel can do about that. It is terrifically located in a bustling area.
