The hotel rooms are really clean and not reeking of chemical perfumes, nice and comfortable with big, comfy Tempur mattresses; service was very pleasant. The location is in a bit of disrepair but within walking distance of Historic Old Town, and the dining offers a nice assortment with a little something for everyone. The facilities are well-maintained.
