A little small, but nothing to complain about. Loved that it was right down the street from the restaurants and bars and coffee shops. Reasonable price for our stay.

Very Cozy and Clean
Very clean and cozy. The decor is very beautiful and small touches like mints and very fluffy towels made all the difference. Shower was better than my own at home.
