Clean, quiet and a great stocked continental breakfast (hardboiled eggs, yogurt, fruit). There were amenities that were on their website that were not available. No robe, no cots (an air mattress that we had to inflate) and no coffee maker in the room. There was a small refrigerator and microwave in the room which was a nice surprise. There is no elevator so beware regarding luggage. Overall it was a good value for the price.

Our stay was generally good. Our room was on the third floor and we had to climb steep stairways that took a circuitous route to our room, since the hotel has no elevator. It was certainly somewhat challenging, since we are older. The hotel has off street parking, included in the price, but if the small lot next to the hotel is full, you have to park a short block away, which we did. It is an old hotel and has a bit of charm, and it is in a good location. However, I did get scalded while taking a shower when, all of a sudden, the water temperature changed. Luckily, I wasn't seriously burned, but they should put temperature controllers on the plumbing. I would stay there again, but ask for a lower room. The staff was friendly and helpful.
