Excellent stay/value in Centro

A great location! Historic hotel that seems fresh and updated while maintaining its roots. Security is fantastic. Breakfast buffet is super nice and goes from 7-12 noon. I didn’t make it to the pool but looks nice. Lots of great mom and pop restaurants across the street. Noise levels were negligible during my visit. Front desk staff outstanding at every interaction with special shout out to Noah for seamless check-in process.

Historically Pleasing

Due to the area I wasn't sure what to expect but I was quite surprised when I walked in and was greeted by the kind gentleman at the front. We felt welcomed and taken care of. We only stayed 1 night before our trip home to CA. The beds were a little firm and pillows a little hard but still enjoyed myself.
