Fantastic Stay at a Wonderful Spot!

really good breakfast comfortable room convenient location easy access

I had a fabulous time . The breakfast was fantastic, boasting great options and even fresh squeezed orange juice every morning!!! The room was very comfortable and impressively clean. The location is convenient, placing me just steps away from the Market Square. I found easy access to both dining and shopping.

The selection of teas and coffees available in the room was a little limited. I did wish for a broader variety of options.

clean room walk-in shower great location unclear communication stress factor small room

The room was very clean. It had a walk-in shower and plenty of hot water. The location was great. It was just two blocks from the main square. An elevator was available.

I found the communication about parking unclear. This was a stress factor upon arrival. The room felt a little too small for the price.
