Lovely hotel and stay. Really would recommend. They’ve had a problem with a leak which has put a couple of rooms out and workmen there but wanted and not bothered by them at all. A little noisy at night from weekend revellers but made up by good facilities, great location and a very comfy bed

A delightful spot

A lovely hotel in the middle of it all. A wonderful, friendly proprietor. So grateful for the very early check-in. It was unexpected. The room was comfy. The location can't be beat. It did get loud outside on Friday and Saturday night being across the street from a bar and club, but nothing ear plugs or headphones can't take care of.

We loved the funky décor. The room was large and comfortable. The location was perfect, and the hotel manager showed us the best place to park our rental car so we didn't have to pay the exorbitant city parking rates. The only drawback was the late night noise from partiers coming from the three nightclubs on Friday and Saturday nights. I am a very light sleeper so it kept me awake, but for the most part it didn't disturb my husband.

The location was excellent in that it was very central. They failed to say that that they were next too two very loud bars They also failed to mention that they adopted a stray cat s their mascot that regularly lived in the lobby. As I am HIGHLY allergic to cat dander, I did NOT appreciate this. I had asked for a quiet double room and was given a twin bedroom next to the elevator and over the bar and spent 2 sleepless nights. I then left the hotel for 4 nights to seek refuge with a friend up north and was re assigned to a quiet double in the back which I appreciated I am not too sure on the housekeeping which failed to replenish my coffee capsules unless it is the hotel policy to only comp you two free capsules on a 12 night stay. The location was brilliant and I only wish they were more upfront of their building problems and mascots giving me an opportunity to book elsewhere. So on transparency a 0 and on location a 4, overall a 3
