"The location is perfect to walk to various sights. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. The carpet needs stretching, but that’s simply what happens with carpet and it did not impact our experience. We appreciate Josh, who was very kind, professional, and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful! Thank you for a great stay!"
