Perfect location for what I needed. It's funny when you walk into your room and there are complimentary earplugs on the desk by the phone you know. I was on level one. Super convenient, but could hear the elevator door rolling open and shut at all hours, the floor above creaked, but hey its a hotel not a library. The complimentary breakfast was great and just a short walk away. The folks at the breakfast spot were SO nice, courteous and helpful.

Everything was great. Unique little, motel type hotel with character. Only complaint would be no instructions on the coffee maker. Husband made a big coffee mess because he put in too much water. Just be aware.

Property was nice. Unfortunately there was a large homeless presence just if the property. It has been renovated and nice. Check in was great but checkout was bad. Couldn't find an employee so left key on desk. The free breakfast was off sight and we skipped as we wanted to check out but would have needed key card to get the free breakfast. Walking distance to the River Walk and local mall.
