Simple and clean City Center stay
Want a clean room with an attentive, helpful staff that is right in the middle of the action? Look no further. Step out the front door, and you are about a 30-second walk to the main square with all its attractions.

The location was excellent as it was so close to all the top sites. It was easy to come and go and there are LOTS of good places to eat within 5 minutes walking. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful and answered all of our questions and made helpful suggestions. Certainly a good place to stay in the city!

Great location!
Good hotel in great location! Hotel staff was super friendly and accommodating - helped with taxis and recommendations. Only small issues were crib was an over used pack n play that didn’t seem the sturdiest so we opted not to use it and heavy rains caused the drain in the shower to back up but breakfast was good and couldn’t beat the location.
