Stayed for a concert, loved the fact it was walking distance to the colonial center and in the middle of downtown. Customer service was welcoming and friendly as well!
I can't describe the amazing feeling of stain at the hotel this weekend. Miss Maya as well as another staff member greeted us with a warm feeling of care and made for a great stay. Thank you for the amazing experience.

Room was very clean. Morning staff was friendly. The overnight desk receptionist was very rude and not friendly at all.
