Liked:Easy to find, friendly host, we had everything we needed, great location downtown.

Disliked:Parking areas are just on the street. Nothing the hotel can do about that, but it did make it slightly inconvenient.

Very nice one-bedroom rental close to shopping, city center, and a very nice park.

Liked:The location was nice, we were there for the eclipse and could just walk to the nicest park to view it. The pricing was steep because of said eclipse. Really appreciated the second toilet. Could have used a lamp in the living area for reading instead of the overhead light. Kitchen was nicely appointed, and a little ice tray for cubes was very welcome for us Americans. We never interacted with a person to enter or leave the rental, but instructions were very clear.

Disliked:Pricing. I realize there was a premium because of the eclipse, but the cost was 5x the regular rate.

Basic guesthouse.

Liked:Nice location, walkable to downtown.

Disliked:Only air is from open window and then you hear all the other guests coming and going. Heated bath floor is nice but it heated up the entire room. No breakfast. No sitting area.
