"I really liked the place! I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. The ice machine came in CLUTCH for my sore feet from wearing bad shoes around the city. Fantastic breakfast!! Overall nice but the bed was so weird. Very low to the ground and squished down and didn’t return to its shape. It’s didn’t seem high quality at all. I slept fine but was confused by the bed.
