Small but quaint. Had smell outside of our door, I think it was an outside garbage can in a common area that hadn't been emptied. We had several palmetto bugs that got in our room. I suppose that is unavoidable in this area. Wall unit air conditioning did not keep up with need in hot summer. Walkable to many dining options. Friendly locals.
