This is a great little Inn. It seems to still have renovations. It was clean. The doors were a concern for me. Didn’t feel secure but I didn’t see it as a problem. The water was turned off by the city and I wasn’t able to have a shower. This would have been something to inform the guests with prior to arrival or at least the morning of.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,671 reviews)

I liked the staff, they were really nice and accommodating! I would say it was a nice stay. Although, I didn’t like how the check in was at 4pm, and check out at 10am. It’s not even a 12h, I would say it’s not worth it. The glass door in the balcony area wasn’t clean, and small things here and there weren’t as clean.
