We had a very pleasant overnight stay here. Room was clean and compact but had all we needed. Close to dining options.
Close to river walking path too. Would stay here again if in the area.

Good location. Very clean room. Average accommodation for a reasonable price.
AC was old and not really working effectively- not great on a very cold night.
Light above the doorway which could not be blocked - not conducive to sleep.
