The room and property were great! Clean and friendly staff. Room was small but more than enough for a couple. Close enough to walk to many local bars and restaurants but far enough away from the lively areas to be quiet even with a room looking out directly over Broadway St. We didn't have a car so can't comment on parking. No complaints!
