The inn and rooms were clean, but can use some new paint or renovation as it looked overall old. The winner is the free breakfast particularly the waffles! The waffles and syrup were beyond expectation LOL. Rebecca at the front desk was helpful and the fact that there's an actual human being 24/7 was reassuring. Overall I would recommend this place.

Overall it was a very solid place to stay. Comfy beds, clean rooms and clearly they made a real effort to make the best of their hotel. Even though the hotel is on a busy street that doesn’t appear to be in a tight knit neighborhood, it’s actually really close to a lot of cool hip restaurants and central to many destinations. The hot tub is cute but needs some love. The air conditioning unit, which I could manually turn on and off, would cool the room in cycles which didn’t really work well given the comforter was so hot. For two nights the covers were either too hot (when the air conditioner was not active), and just warm enough which I found was disruptive for sleep. Other than someone’s dog barking too early in the morning, rooms were quiet.
