This is the perfect place, central to everything we found for walking! The staff are great at recommending places to go. Rooms were just right as we aren't in the hotel room for long anyways. The beds are very comfy and the pillows were too! Probably the most comfortable spot to sleep that we've stayed in America.

Very good location. A little noisy at night with the random person screaming out on the streets somewhere the first night but all in all a very good little hotel. Excellent little breakfast restaurant across the street also

This darling boutique hotel was in convenient location for catching Green Train (10 min) ride to Oetco Park. Safe neighborhood with amazing dining options. Only negative was the shower. You had to reach in and get wet when turning on the water & rain head above was super weak flow.
