It was a cute spot. The room is very simple, just a bed and a bathroom. Everything seemed clean and well-kept. Very little interaction with the staff, but they were friendly. Overall experience is a 4/5, but the location is a 5/5.

We loved the retro style of the hotel. It was also in a great location to all the things we wanted to do and was affordable compared to other hotels around it. With it being in a popular area it was quiet at night which we loved.
