Summary: Driving through the neighborhood to the hotel I was thinking we made a bad call, but once we walked in the room and I checked for cleanliness (the bud bug check, always), I think it's a nice, albeit retro, place. The office staff was very friendly and accomodating. There was fresh coffee early every morning, with delicious banana bread and tropical fruit. The shower was wonderful and the room felt very clean. I'd recommend!
