Its in a great location only 5-10 mins from downtown/waterfront and in a quiet neighborhood. Brandon had great communication and even offered for us to check in early. Overall great experience and I would not only stay here again myself I'd recommend it to everyone I know. ##### Shanell E. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline A.
