Checking in was easy and was painless with our wonderful concierge. The room was cozy, to the point, but extremely clean and comfortable. Booked at first mainly because it was one of the most affordable options in SB, and was delighted by the cute atmosphere, and great service. The parking lot was small, but I was always able to find a spot. In walking distance to a lot of different stores, too!
