This is probably the nicest hotel I've stayed at for this price. I've paid $130/night at chain hotels that have given bare bones experiences before, but this was a great, clean room in a beautiful hotel. Staff was very kind as well. Parking was at garage on the corner of the street, but the walk over only takes a minute. There's a cute ice cream shop across the street as well.
