The room was small, but very comfortable and perfect for my husband and i on our visit to see his childhood friend that lives in the area. Owners were very friendly and even gave us plastic silverware when our DoorDash forgot to send it. Very nice coffeehouse within walking distance as well.

Thank You!

Room was SPOTLESS and well-appointed, although I recommend having facial tissues available. Check-in was efficient and courteous, even though it was a late arrival time. Trickiest issue is finding the way into the property (the city's problem, not the owners').
