Good location. The bed was good and so was the shower. The staff at reception and maintenance all around was the nicest part!

"Nice and quiet."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Was very skeptical on staying here due to the yelp reviews being pretty bad. Upon arrival checkin was very easy and the host was very friendly. The room was super cute and clean NO BED BUGS NO BAD SMELLS. Our weekend stay was overall very pleasant aside from a couple bangs on the door the first night but may have just been someone slightly intoxicated at the wrong door. the only “bad” thing I would say is parking is definitely limited other than that I would definitely stay again for sure!
