Loved the retro vibe of this place! Bed was very comfortable with good quality linens. Room was very clean and well maintained with a quiet air conditioner as well as an air purifier. Bathroom is a good size, very clean and the water pressure of the shower is awesome. There is a large fridge/freezer in the room which is very convenient. Bus stop is close if you need other transportation but this property is walking distance to Clinch park and shopping/dining on Front street. We would definitely stay again!
