"Amy at the front desk was wonderful and the room was perfect! Centrally located and walking distance to downtown. We were the first room next to the street so we did hear some street noise in the morning but it did not bother us. However, if you think that might bother you, ask for a room at the back of the property. I would definitely stay again!"
