“What stood out to me about this property is the helpfulness of the staff; Rain, in particular, seems to make a real difference for guests. While the downtown location is walkable, light sleepers might consider bringing earplugs given some road noise. Overall, it seems a clean, comfortable choice, though note the lack of in-room microwaves.”
