Cute and comfy

The staff was fantastic. The hotel is well kept. It's small and cute. Parking is very tight, which makes sense given the location. And there is considerable road noise, but there's nothing a hotel can do about that. It is terrifically located in a bustling area.

First from they put me in had a mattress that should have been thrown out 6 years ago. This thing was so far beyond worn it was like sleeping in an inner tube. Then they put me in a second room in which the electricity didn't work near the bed so I was unable to use my sleep machine. Kind of a noisy location as well

Jail cell

It’s misleading I believe I was getting a more modern room with more space when we walked in. It was so small. The door hit the bathroom door coming in. It’s only open halfway. The room looks like a jail cell. The only thing nice about it. Was the very tiny updated bathroom… will not be back.
