Clean, comfortable but rooms are tiny
"Cute redone hotel. The rooms are clean, but oh so tiny. I had a full size suitcase that had zero place to open up except the bed. The bathrooms are also super tiny. For a night, the room was fine. Bed was very comfortable. This is the third time I have stayed here and will stay again."
