"Amazing location! Good breakfast and cute hotel."

The Snug Townhouse

We were there on a Tuesday night, which is a popular night for college kids to go out and the bar downstairs fills in young college age adults. Other than the loud music, the location was great. Staff was friendly and would consider staying there again. Chocolates on the pillow!"
