Stay away from here
Owner was friendly and helpful but the hotel or B&B grossly overpriced! The neighborhood was away from the tourist area and the outside of the hotel was unappealing. The 10 minute walk to Darwin Street was in a poor section, an old mattress lying about. Breakfast was good. The reception area was poor. I have photos. Worth about $40 a night not the $110 l prepaid and could not cancel reservation

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
いくら物価が高いと言っても値段と設備が釣り合っていません。 天井近くだけの小窓しかない部屋で冷蔵庫なし、バスルームは多少広いですがあまり綺麗ではありません。 連泊なのにタオルの交換ありませんでした。 唯一プラスを見つけるなら、周囲がローカルエリアなので繁華街より商店やレストランの値段が安いことくらいでしょうか。
