Excellent location, price, food options nearby. Surface level clean, but could use a good deep clean. It was perfect for a place to sleep but nothing fancy - feels more hostel-like with quality of mattresses/bedding/towels. Definitely would stay again for a quick turnaround though.

I loved the location and proximity to my meetings. Staff were wonderful! Room was very clean. Two hiccups: 1. my access card stopped working but staff let me in and then fixed card reader immediately. That was good service. 2. The bathroom sick had water hammer and the pipes screamed when they were turned on. The shower and the shower pressure was amazing. Over all good stay! And I would book again.

It was good value for the money. Staff and breakfast were good. The room was fine if you were not spending too much time in it. The room was comfortable and clean enough, but it needed a bit more lighting and perhaps a night table and some art on the walls. The only lights were the standard ceiling lights in the entrance (where it meets the main room) and the bathroom. Why not provide at least one lamp that guests could move and use at the desk or to read in bed?

No-frills, two-beds room and a continental breakfast were great for a quick overnight stay. Can't beat the price! Student workers were polite and definitely had a lot of patience, especially when other guests used them as tour guides/concierges!
