"It’s an older property but had a nice facelift to modernize the rooms. They are clean, the property is well maintained. The location is fantastic and the neighborhood quiet. Carla’s across the street is a great breakfast spot. One piece of advice, ask for an upstairs room as you hear everything of the people above you."
