Close to restaurants. The place is a little small, but very comfortable for two people. Would definitely stay there again.

Hidden gem
Unfortunately, I was only able to stay two nights due to other bookings. The unit is bright and clean with lots of storage and a fully stocked kitchen with pretty much everything you might need. Laundry facilities were clean and convenient.
Best of all the staff at the Colony Inn is OUTSTANDING! Very helpful. Would totally recommend!
