Overall for the value and location, I would stay here again. Room cleanliness was okay except for hair on the shower wall. Also, walls between rooms are pretty thin. Breakfast was okay given the price of the room. Waffles, bagels, yogurt and some fruit.

The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff was pleasant and very helpful. However, the rooms are not well soundproofed—you can hear guests in the room above. If you plan to stay here, I recommend requesting an upstairs room and bringing earplugs or a sound machine to help drown out the noise.

Staff was kind and helpful. Sheets and duvet had visible stains on them. Door to outside had a very large gap under, allowing a significant amount of cold air in. Thankfully the heater worked perfectly and kept the room warm.
