The hotel is situated in a lovely quiet area, very close to Downtown and within reach of numerous attractions. The rooms are always kept clean, and there's a charming little chair out on the porch. Despite the great location, the service was disappointing, lacking attentiveness and warmth. The dining options were limited but included cooked eggs, which was a nice touch. Overall, the hotel offers good value for the money.
