Paula, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, quiet, stay w very soft and comfortable bedding and pillows. Breakfast items had dwindled and were not refilled by the time we went to the breakfast area (9 am) so some choices were slim or empty. Extremely close/easy walking access to German Village, Book Loft, and Cento. Not a super great area but it borders on one and this property is definitely trying. Would stay again!
