The morning breakfast was minimal, no eggs, cereal or hot dishes. This was unexpected for the price. On the other hand, the pastries were Patisserie-class. Especially the chocolate croissants, some of the best I've had anywhere. The location was excellent,and the staff very friendly and helpful

I loved the location. The price was a bit steep for the hotel that looked like a motel in the rooms.

Pros (+) The star was incredibly nice and welcoming. The location was also so perfect. Easily walkable to all of the cute shops, restaurants and wine tasting rooms. The complimentary breakfast was also a great surprise. Overall a really wonderful place and staff in the heart of the action!
Cons (-) Maybe a little updating. We had a cracked mirror on the closet. The ac unit was very old as well.

Pros (+) Location is good . Front desk staff are rude and unhelpful. I stayed once before but I'd forgotten how rude she was. If I would have remembered I would have never returned .
