Great stay-exactly as advertised!
Exactly as advertised, walkable location, overall good vibes! Well appointed, comfy and charming room, friendly staff, free/easy parking, and felt very safe for a solo female traveler. Live music on the patio was great. Fun bar, free morning coffee, and filtered water station a nice bonus. Would stay here again for sure!
