In town.
No elevator to room, had to carry bags up steps. Room tiny.
No space in room with one bed. You could barely get by it because of lack of space. really need to get rid of those rooms or make two rooms one.

Location, there was a lot to do near by, the staff was helpful.
There was no parking. A lot of outside noise because it is in the heart of the town
Staff was very friendly and helpful. It is in the heart of the town on the waterfront which is fun. It would be great for young adults. Parking was challenging. Our room was very clean.
