Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was disappointed that when we got a double room, only one seat was available, and no one on hand to answer the bell ( after 9pm) to get me another one. I also felt the staff member was indifferent to me. I did get a decent night's sleep. you wanted feedback, take note of my comments. Btw I thought the shower was excellent.

Not my favorite, but relatively inexpensive

Low ceiling over one side of double bed made me feel claustrophobic. Room was small, but bathroom was fine. Street was torn up with construction. Had to wake up narrow stairs with luggage.

It's close to public transportation . It's a quiet residential area. The only issue was the construction site that didn't allow my driver leaving me at the right place. However this was not the property fault. I liked that my room had all the amenities. Also, the lady was very nice.

Nice room in quiet location.

Nice small room, minor issue was only one small coffee cup, and there was an empty/used milk container on the windowsill. Cozy, very good shower and nice big TV. Quiet location.

The room we rented was very basic, clean, and tidy. The place over all is a little worn but for one night and the price it was what we expected. The website says a Continental breakfast is included BUT there is only coffee and tea in the room.
