The first room they put us in was stuffy and smelly. The walls were old, and dirty looking. We were so tired, we tried our best to sleep. The beds were so uncomfortable!! The next morning I asked the front desk to change our room. Thankfully they did. The new room was much fresher, and cleaner in appearance. The beds were still not that comfortable. We checked out a day early because of this.

Simple and Lovely
Central location. Friendly staff. Bit of a maze to get to room the first time, but once you learn the layout of the hotel it's fine. Clean and comfortable rooms. Lovely Courtyard. Would stay here again.
