William, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean and well appointed, smaller property. It is in a fantastic location with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast is included, but it is more typical of something you would get staying in a Residence Inn or TownePlace Suites. That said, our stay was worth what we paid.
Christopher, 3-night trip

Desk clerk held out luggage so we could do some exploring because we arrived 4 hours before check in
