check-in was efficient, i appreciated that. the building itself had private parking right out front which was helpful. i was impressed with some thoughtful touches such as a welcome message, a fan, and soft music already playing. the complimentary water and quality toiletries were a plus.
The occupant in the room above was quite audible. Every movement and plumbing noise disrupted my sleep

good locationsmall roomnoisy equipment
the hotel had a good location for seeing the town.
The room i booked online looked nothing like the actual room i received. It was much smaller! also, there was some kind of noisy equipment outside the window. It kept clicking on and off all night, it was quite a nuisance and made it hard to sleep. i was really hoping for a quiet stay, but that didn't happen, unfortunately. the staff wasn't really sympathetic, either. That was disappointing, too.
