5/5 Excellent
"We stayed for 6 nights. The room was a really good size, and comfortable. The hotel is so close to great restaurants, and in the middle of town. A very easy and quick walk into town. Safe and secure parking in the basement. Really lovely front desk staff who gave us recommendations about where to eat and what to do in the area. Pretty quiet area other than outside noise on Friday and Saturday night which is expected for the location. "
