Make sure you take a stroll down Walnut Street, a vibrant area where there's always something to do and see. Both tourists and locals flock to this famous strip.

the price was decent, unexpected surprise the ONLY disappointment for breakfast the waffle irons were down. Loved the hardwood floors, that was nice. Good location, buttt this biggest head scratcher going into the bathroom with a empty toilet paper roll and a full toilet paper roll under the sink.
