I loved the creative decor, the spaciousness of the room, and the pleasantness of the staff. The only thing I did not care for was my location right next to the elevator — a bit noisy.

This place is very quaint, but sometimes it seems a little bit worn. The bed was a little old. The air conditioner unit was also old (and noisy; I had to turn it off). However, I slept fine, and the staff was really very pleasant. I love the area as well. This is the third time I’ve stayed there, and my impression is fairly consistent about it.
