The double room is no bigger than a closet. Everything is so small, and no place to put out a roller bag suitcase, the shower curtain hits you, and if your 5’ tall, you can’t see the bathroom mirrors. I would recommend paying the $25 extra per night for a Superior King room, which is a normal good sized room. I stayed in the superior room with a friend the night before our husbands arrived. Thinking the $25/less room would also be nice, I said we could take it, I was sorely mistaken and disappointed. Also there were a few of the staff that were so rude, were not helpful and never smiled. If you’re thinking of renting a bike at the hotel, make sure to do it early, as they only have 10! The other closest places are at least a 10 minute walk away. The area is great, and if you stay in the Superior King room you’ll be great.

While the room was tiny, the property was a great home base to explore the city. We were able to easily walk or tram to most anywhere we wanted to go. The room was clean, staff was friendly, and we had a nice stay. The shower is very small which meant the bathroom got wet while bathing, but that was a small inconvenience for a great, affordable hotel.

The hotel staff were lovely and accommodating, even letting us check in early. The room whilst only for two of us was very small. You could not sit on the toilet without having to lean a significant amount to not be blocked by the sink next to you. Additionally, the toilet had a leaking problem where the floor became soaked no matter how much we tried to dry it out. Most of all, the slanting mattress was the biggest issue. The double bed we had was in fact two singles pushed together with a double mattress topper. The single mattresses constantly, regardless of effort to keep together, constantly came apart making sleeping very uncomfortable and back aching. Other than these inconveniences the stay was lovely and we had a great time.
