"Location is convenient. 11 min ride to historic downtown, park in the streets for free. There is a Publix at a walking distance if needed. Not 5 stars because the room was shabby. Bathroom needs renovations. Hooks come off, there was not shampoo and body shower liquid in the jars built into the shower."
