I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel is nestled in a vibrant neighborhood, surrounded by historical landmarks and lively restaurants. The rooms were cozy, with the added comfort of a space heater in the master bedroom. The service was impeccable, and the dining experience, though not included, offered delicious fried fish. On the downside, the facilities could use some improvement, but the overall value for the money was impressive.
