Nice hotel in a nice area. We selpt well and the breakfast was good. Nothing special but satisfying. Our issues were with the cleanliness of the room. Carpet was a bit old and dirty and there was a musky smell. With that being said, it served it's purpose and we enjoyed our weekend. We would stay here again.
