We had a great overnight stay. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were soft and clean. The pillows were just right! The building and the street outside were quiet. The windows opened to let in fresh air. The building is very old and you can sense that with the attention now, it will regain its glory and again be a great place to stay. Overall a good stay - not high end but the staff and good sleep made it great.

This place was nice enough. Room was quiet and clean and a good place to stop off for the night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a communal kitchen area that had seen better days but was clear the staff were trying to make the place better through renovations. Parking across the street was fantastic. Good place to stay on a budget.
