Great location

The concept of this hotel is quaint. The furnishings are unique and add to the overall experience. The hotel needs some TLC as evidence of water leaks are abundant throughout the room. Great area, with many dining options within walking distance of property. Loved the area, would definitely visit again and recommend other travelers book this property as well!
