Toilet and floor weren't clean, smelled like someone was smoking in the room before. There was almost no toilet paper in the bathroom. I would expect more from a 4 star hotel

This is a cute little hotel with a cool bar and a nice little restaurant. Every member of the staff was friendly and responsive. The room was clean but the floor in the room over ours squeaked every time someone above so much as tapped their toe. Recommendation: Stay on the 3rd floor if you can.
