The staff were cute. I found the location ideal for visiting nearby sites. My room had a very comfortable bed and big bath , I appreciated that.

Noise from the plumbing was disruptive . I was in room 9 above the street and I could hear a lot of outside noise. I could also smell smoke in my room from people smoking near the public bar doorway.
