Clean, charming, safe, beautiful, convenient and peaceful place to stay! Because there is no laundry I’d say not suitable for more than a week but really lovely for a few days! It’s incredibly convenient to Kerns dining and New Seasons, both of which I very much appreciated. As a single female traveler, I also enjoyed how safe it felt. The decor was lovely and there appears to be a high quality hair dryer available to use as well as nice linens and reliable WiFi.
