"If you want a hotel that’s near restaurants, cafes or any stores, I would love to recommend this hotel bc you can just walk. It says they don’t have laundry facilities but if you’re looking for few nights that’s fine. It’s not so quiet because it’s in the middle of town but great if you want to explore. I would recommend to put the sign “dnd” to your door if you’re staying at morning or noon."
