The Snug Townhouse
Staff really nice, great location (though I can see why the reviews say it can be loud). Room so small you couldn’t swing a cat in there, but for the price that’s not a complaint. Would be pretty small for two people sharing though! Definitely “snug”. The shower was AMAZING! For price and location ...
