I enjoyed my stay at the Artists’ Nook. The hostess was very helpful, especially with the bus system and helping me find a good parking place. The rooms were spacious, the bed was comfortable, and I really loved the neighborhood. There were nice restaurants and a great used bookstore. My only regret is I was so busy with my class, I couldn’t do much sightseeing. I would definitely stay there again.
