We only stayed here for one night but our experience was wonderful. Staffs were friendly, the room was clean and well-equipped. The courtyard area is nice with chairs and umbrellas and cornhole. Plus, they have free bikes for guests to use for the entire day. Being able to explore the city on a bike was definitely a highlight in our visit.
