Obviously brand new renovation, everything you could need is here! Step out into Market Square and everything you need is right there. Be aware you are on a busy street so be prepared for some city sounds, but it didn't stop us from having a great night's sleep in comfy beds. Plenty of linens, blankets, and towels - plus fully outfitted kitchen and bath. ...
