convenient locationsister restaurantfriendly staffuncomfortable mattresssmall roomdifficult parking
The location proved quite convenient. It was a manageable walk to the town center. I also appreciated the discount at the sister restaurant, it helped with meal costs. THE staff members I encountered were friendly and helpful.
The mattress was not great. I found it uncomfortable. The room was quite small. The on-road parking situation was difficult. I had to park a few streets away.

The staff was very friendly. It was in a private lot opposite the hotel. the room was big, and the beds were comfy. towels were soft.
The decor seemed outdated. i noticed chunks of paint off the woodwork near the front door. the bathroom looked to be fitted many years ago. The door lock seemed quite old.
