Staff and owner were very hospitable. Everything was as described and expected. We were able to check in early without a problem. Due to the location, it is quite noisy because of traffic. Parking was difficult because it is behind a garage door on a busy street. However, once we figured out how to get in, parking was secure and we could walk anywhere from the hotel. Great place for a city stay.
