The property has been completely updated. The room was great, comfortable and clean. The outside retains the vintage vibe that drew us here in the first place. The guy at the desk was friendly and was very interested in what we thought about the property.

Very clean and friendly. Beds were very comfortable, the only thing I would say to improve on would be a coffee pot in the room, however Bowling Green has a coffee shop on every corner. We will definitely stay again!
