Lovely stay
This hotel is in the perfect location if you want peace and quiet and not the hustle and bustle downtown.
However, it is a very basic hotel. No refrigerator, microwave not even a clock, so be prepared. What makes this hotel great are their people. They are very friendly and helpful. Manny, the bartender was the best ever. Very attentive and he had multiple responsibilities.
I will include that the hotel definitely needs some upgrades, but they are mostly aesthetic.
