The property was eye catching and very well maintained. The apartment was immaculate, very well apportioned with all the stated amenities. If you want to get away from the hotel/motel stay, this is the place to stay. Awesome rustic neighborhood. The proprietor was gracious and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay.

Location near Drake diner. Efficient use of space. The security system on the elevator the curtain that separates the bed from the rest of the room for late night TV watching. Special mention for the two ladies serving breakfast: mindful of the inclement weather, they chose to come into the hotel at midnight so they would be available to serve breakfast in the morning. That is true dedication, and quality that should be reinforced and rewarded.
