Summary: We stayed three nights. The location was great. The room we were in had a private bathroom and was on the lower floor. It was very quiet despite being close to the side street. The AC worked well, however we smelled cigarette smoke coming through the vent when we used it in the evening. The room was dark, good for sleeping, but did not have much if any natural light. You could also hear water running in the pipes above us. Overall we had a decent stay and felt the location made up for some quirks at the property.
