    Beds were comfortable, tea kettle in room very convenient. The area is quiet. Bus stop across the street or within a few minutes walk. Some good cafes and restaurants in the area as well.

    Cozy little room in a quiet location. Breakfast was delicious. David was very helpful with recommendations. He went above and beyond to accommodate an additional request, even on mother's day. Thank you for a safe, comfortable, and memorable stay...
