Convenient location, shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Housekeepers are awesome and do a great job at making you feel welcome. The rooms are a little dark and need better lighting but they are clean.

Not a bad place to stay. The bed was pretty comfortable and the curtains kept the light out. The water pressure in the shower was a bit low, but warmed nicely.
