I was worried about staying here because of previous bad reviews but for the price I paid in the location. It wasn’t bad and the service was amazing. They always wanted me to be comfortable and have the best stay possible so if you’re looking for something in this location at a low rate I think this is a decent choice

There is a lot that could be done to make the stay more enjoyable. While the location was excellent and the staff friendly, the space is not very clean and there is a strong odour on the property. I saw small ants (or bugs of some kind - not bed bugs) in my room, and the walls and flooring were very well worn. An upgrade in paint, linen, and towels would be an easy and more affordable way to enhance the environment. If you are a larger, taller, or disabled person it is not accessible. The washroom is incredibly small, and you cannot sit on the toilet without hitting the sink. There is no way someone in a wheel chair or is plus size could comfortably use the facilities; if at all. I found the cost affordable for the area, though improvements are definitely needed before I would book again.

great hotel location

Location - great, room-clean; there was no hairdryer, but we got one upon request at the reception. The was also no tea kettle in the room to boil water; there is very little space in the shower but we fit in, the water is good, maybe there could be as many shampoo packets as there are nights of sleep...there was no soap or shower gel... could use more towels.

This hotel was truly awful. The springs on my bed were completely broken, the hot water didn’t work in the shower, i wasn’t provided a towel and the room had stains on the carpet and door that looked like blood. The staff were extremely unhelpful and didn’t seem to care. Don’t stay here.

Location was good and reception also great. Unfortunately the room was having some heating issues so I had to sleep with the window open. Luckily I always travel with earplugs otherwise it would have been difficult to sleep for long time due to the noise on the street. I stayed for one night so was still good for what I needed and the price paid.
