"Cute hotel near the airport in the center of town, walkable to almost anything you need. Great staff, very friendly environment. The bed was harder than I like, and the pillows were bigger and harder than I like. I ended up using a camping pillow I brought and slept great. We had a small room with a private bath that was perfect for a night."
