10/10 Exceptional

Good price on a basic room near the center of the city, with walking distance to many of the attractions and public transportation options. Basic breakfast with waffle maker for a hot option, but sadly no real half-and-half for coffee (Coffeemate creamer, or 2% or whole milks from the fridge).

My wife & I have stayed repeatedly at this cozy boutique style hotel. It checks all the comfort stay boxes for us. Welcoming staff, clean rooms with character, breakfast and the added bonus of a free wine and cheese, meet & greet. We recommend this hotel highly. Bob & Michelle

Breakfast was a nice addition, The bread and cereal and hard boiled eggs were good. There never seemed to be enough silverware. The waffle machine was tricky to use and many people had trouble with it. The coffee dispenser was old and required many pumps to get a cup. The evening cocktails was a nice surprise and appreciated. This was my third time staying there and I will probably stay there again.

Excellent staff and nice location. The hotel is a bit worn out and deserves a real renovation. Tiles in my bathroom were worn as was carpeting. There is no good AC system just old fashioned noisy window units (mine hadn’t been cleaned in a while)
Verified review

6/10 Good

Plus-wise, this hotel offers a free breakfast in a small diningroom plus two free happy hour drinks. The receptionist was nice. But the room was freezing and there was no way to control the AC, plus no coffee maker, fridge, or microwave. The bed was uncomfortably hard. I wouldn't stay there again, but if you want a free breakfast and the happy hour drinks go for it.
