8/10 Very good

Trip went well. Easily checked in, room was clean, no issues at all.
Angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mixed

Clean, pretty good shower and mattress. But very uncomfortable room: only an overhead light, no nightstand to put a lamp or a cup of coffee on, lots of sharp corners/edges to hit your legs on. Expensive for what you get. Sorry won’t be back.

The place is in a nice location but the rooms are very small with unpainted repaired patches or places where repairs were needed.
