"Clean, but old hotel room. "

Clean linen and towels. Comfortable bed. Old a/c unit that made noises when adjusted and may use some filter cleaning. Old carpet.Tiny room. No space for a table, just one chair available. Fridge and cofee maker were good.

It was a neat hotel, but the staff were not very friendly. Especially the person who stored the luggage on Sunday morning/afternoon. Parking is crazy expensive.

This is incredible place to stay. It has a certain charm that some guests may, or may not, like. It’s not a glamorous hotel but neither am I. It is very convenient for access to the bus lines. You can walk to a number of parks that are right in front of the hotel. I would absolutely stay here again. It makes for a great home base for all of your site seeing adventures.
