    The location was perfect, the place was cute and clean, and the staff was polite. The bed was not very comfy, and the room was very cold despite of the room heating. Maybe additional blankets would have helped, but the front desk was closed at night.

    The price & the area were great. The repurposed Victorian house was cool. Free non-alcoholic beverages was also nice.

    Nicely restored Victorian house. Excellent shower stall. Pleasant reception by Lily.
