Found the room at the Shakespeare Hotel very clean and well presented. The kitchenette was well equipped. The bed was comfortable. The shower was nice and water was hot. Parking was easy. The only thing that would have made it better was the restaurant operating for breakfast and dinner.

Bed had a missing leg, drooped down on one side. Not enough parking spaces, had to park out on the street. Overall, good place to stay for the night.

Enjoyed the hospitality and the clean and tidy room. The sad part was that there was no lift for the upper rooms.
