I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a very warm and accommodating atmosphere. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. It was a bit noisy at times due to the surrounding area and the ongoing construction, which hindered my ability to relax fully. However, the location was excellent for exploring downtown, being just a quick walk away, and the breakfast options were delightful.

The room was clean, quiet, and a decent size with a ceiling fan, though it could get a bit warm in summer since there was no air conditioning. Overall, it met my needs nicely.

The hotel is situated in a lovely neighborhood with an easy 20-25 minute walk into downtown, which has an artisan market, museums, restaurants, and grocery stores. I felt safe walking around, and it was handy to have a Starbucks right across the street.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were incredibly friendly and the location was convenient with shops and restaurants nearby, the rooms left something to be desired, particularly in terms of noise and cleanliness. The dining options were also limited, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a decent spot for a short stay but not perfect.

5.0/10

My stay was quite underwhelming at this hotel. The location is decent with some trendy cafes and shops nearby, but the overall experience was marred by dingy rooms, noisy surroundings, and less-than-ideal service. Even though I found the pricing quite reasonable, the quality did not meet expectations, especially with issues like noise and uncomfortable bedding.

Rooms

The rooms were quite dingy and lacked proper airflow. Bedding quality was poor, and I had cold showers that were unpredictable.

The service was a bit lacking. The front doors were locked at all times, which meant I often had to wait for someone to let me in or out.

Location

The location is not too far from a nice neighborhood with cafes and shops, but it's noisy and a bit of a trek into downtown.

We had a generally positive experience at the hotel, especially on our first stay with a comfortable room. However, our second stay was disappointing due to the poor condition of the room we were given, which had broken plumbing and inadequate amenities. The location is somewhat noisy due to the nearby road and rail track. Overall, it’s a mixed bag, as it offers decent value but definitely has areas needing improvement.

During my stay, I found the hotel to be a decent option with a friendly atmosphere and a lively staff. The location allowed for easy walks to downtown and nearby amenities, but be prepared for quite a bit of noise from the outside. The rooms were clean and reasonably sized, but the noise definitely impacted my overall experience. It’s a good spot for short stays, especially if you bring earplugs to help with the sound issues.
