“This older property impresses with meticulous upkeep and quiet rooms; attention to detail extends to providing thoughtful touches like blackout solutions. I think it's a solid choice given its warm pool, well-maintained facilities, and attentive front desk. It seems to be a comfortable and well-managed option, slightly removed from the downtown bustle.”
