8/10 Good
"Although the rooms are old and the bathrooms small, the rooms are clean, comfortable, and contain a small frig and coffee maker. Unfortunately, the onsite restaurant was closed for repairs, but the hotel location is excellent, making the Village totally walkable and access to other eating and drinking establishments very accessible."

10/10 Excellent
"Request a room upstairs, request a room upstairs, request a room upstairs. Despite an amazing location, remodeled rooms and amazing stay, my only complaint is how thin the walls are. We go to bed fairly early but people upstairs stayed up and walked around and played music until 2am. It’s not their fault but I would request the room upstairs if I planned to stay again “also request a fan because it’s wayyyy too quiet and you hear everything!!!! But again, it’s a beautiful location, beautiful rooms and for the price, I’d book again"
