"Very welcoming check-in area. They had a cute bar area which served food. The room was nice and updated, except there was carpet. Beds & pillows were very comfortable. Breakfast was fine. We had to hunt for the coffee, though. (It was in the check-in area.) Looked like a nice little pool outside; we didn't use it though. The hotel location was walkable to a few stores & restaurant. I would recommend for a stay!"
