This was a cheap option and you will get what you pay for. On the positive, great location close to train, restaurants, and entertainment. If you’re not spending time in the room, this is great. The downsides were: uncomfortable bed and only three terrible pillows, small space, light fixtures broken, sticky floor, and the walls are paper thin. Also do not book on first floor(obv) you will be up all night.

Smooth situation overall. You know what you're getting, no normal hotel, amenities or concierge help or room help but that's why it's one of the cheaper nicer looking hotels in the area. Definitely need better mattresses, and they need to clean the rooftop on a more regular basis because unfortunately patrons of the hotel tend to leave their trash or beer bottles up top but overall we enjoyed our experience.

Very clean and accommodations were just what we needed. Much more affordable than others in the area. They will email you instructions for accessing the building and your room. My biggest wish would be for slightly larger bath towels, one hand towel per guest (there were none), and one wash cloth per guest (there was only one wash cloth for the room).

The room was quite crunched and the hotel is entirely self service so not very convenient. Though located accessible from transport options the hotel itself wasn’t that great for the price.

Not recommended for more than an overnight

The room was very small and noisy. The bed was ok any the bathroom was huge. The area around the hotel was pretty sketchy. Didn’t feel very safe. Wouldn’t book there again for that price.
