The bedding felt fresh and of good quality. I also had enough towels. The location is good because it is on a calm street with a beautiful church nearby. The staff contacted me quickly after my departure about a lost item. I appreciated that.

The front door was somewhat heavy. I found it a little difficult to open late at night.

a mixed bag, i guess

the family room i had was reasonably spacious i suppose.

The main issue was the noise. I could hear everything from the street. it sounded like they were partying right outside my window, and that really wasn't pleasant. i barely slept, not great when you need to be up early.
