8/10 Good
"If you are looking for a 5 star top of the line hotel, this is not it. However, if you're looking for a great place to stay in a great location for a great price then hotel Beckett beckons. Location is probably the best there is jn my opinion. Its within walking distance to everything yet quiet. If you dont feel like walking, they offer free bike rentals to explore. Did I mention its dog friendly? The space was clean upon arrival and our room was ready on time. The rooms were lipstick on a pig. Building is old but updates have been made. but conformable and nice. The beds were not so comfortable and the pillows were all different but I am stuck up with my mattress and pillows. What really made this place great was the staff and amenities. The bar and outdoor areas were very cozy and relaxing and the bar is great. The free morning breakfast was substantial and popular amongst the residents. Overall a great place to stay and i absolutely would stay there again."
