8/10 Very good

Great location, cute vibe - but over priced

This is at least my fifth stay at this hotel. Location is great and to have offstreet parking is unusual and great. People are always lovely. The rooms are often not super clean (mine had a half a pot of cold coffee this time and dirty counter and table surfaces). This time - it also smelled super chemically - as thought they use unstoppables or like product. Really awful for an asthmatic. The also have a bad back and the mattress is good - but I. Top of a wooden support is not OK for four nights. I really loved it when it was super affordable. Not sure it’s worth similar prices to the Statler Hotel. Lastly - asked for trash removal daily because cooking food. Came once in four days. If there’s a kitchenette - remove the trash daily.
