Cutest hotel. Not your normal chain hotel. Beautiful foyer and side rooms, pretty outdoor area and cute bathrooms. Clean, comfy and appealing. Staff is friendly and helpful, bar service is quick and everyone attentive. Room was normal hotel size but had a exposed brick wall which was nice. Bathroom large with a window. Bed was comfortable. Only negative was the coffee pot in room- didn’t work as it should. But got coffee in the bar area. Would definitely stay here again. The hotel and people make you feel as special.
