Great property, would definitely stay again on a short trip. Rooms are on the smaller side, but it’s a small boutique hotel the staff and the lobby make up for the size of the room.

While I'm glad there's available parking, the parking area is a tight area that makes getting in and out a bit tricky. Sometimes, you need another person to navigate you out of there.
