It's an older building that has been fixed up in an affordable way that can be used. They lady at the desk is super nice to deal with. The only problem we had was the room had a musty or wet smell to it. To me it makes it hard to breathe. The showers are small. Over all it is a very cozy and cool place.

Outstanding small privately owned hotel. Old but very clean. I'll be back for sure. Only con is that the AC wasn't able to be turned down cool enough. But I like to sleep under the covers and like it cold.
