    The inner courtyard garden was a great break from the busyness of the city. Laundry facilities were two doors down from our room. Very clean and everything worked well.

    In comparison to 11 other hotel/motels we stayed in, this was by far one of our favourites. It was cheaper than others, but the quality of the furnishings made the room feel luxurious and more like a 5-star. The bed was extremely comfortable,...

    This place is a gem. Near everything in town, but feels quiet and peaceful. Rooms are arranged around a lovely courtyard, sheltered from the hubbub of the city. And it is clean and friendly.
