Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are very small and not having a bathroom in the room is quite inconvenient. Luckily as I was leaving early every day, I did not have much issue finding a vacant shower (shared bathroom), but I can imagine it could get difficult during busy periods and likely causing delays. I would not book it unless there was no other choice.

Great little place. Close to buses and Light rail. I had a car so street parking was convenient. Place was clean and boutique with shared facilities. Downsides: rooms are small and doors are loud (cannot enter or exit quietly), walls are thin. If you’re a light sleeper, being ear plugs and maybe headphones as well

I found the room was very small. The shared bathroom was just Ok. There was lack of toilet paper, so guess used hand paper and made the bathroom untidy.

Centennial park was close by. The staff was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The hotel was located two blocks from relatives so it was ideal. Could walk to the shops. Convenient.
