It was a nice stay. It is convenient and walkable to downtown. I would have liked the pillows a little softer. The pillows were too hard for us. Otherwise, we have no other complaints. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants downtown.

The room looked newly remodeled. The bed was comfortable. Easy to use as a base for exploring. The only small downsize was that there was light in the deep closet. The price was reasonable. No hugh problem, but it made it a little difficult to see your clothes that were hung.
