Really close to city center and yet it’s all enclosed with locked parking and pool. There’s lots of cool sitting areas.

Staff and owner were very hospitable. Everything was as described and expected. We were able to check in early without a problem. Due to the location, it is quite noisy because of traffic. Parking was difficult because it is behind a garage door on a busy street. However, once we figured out how to get in, parking was secure and we could walk anywhere from the hotel. Great place for a city stay.
