Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s a budget-friendly place to stay with a convenient location and public transportation within walking distance. However, in terms of cleanliness, I requested a bedsheet and towel change for four consecutive nights, and although I was told it would be done, it never was.

Parking was a bit confusing, but was able to figure out meter parking on the street. Great walkability to restaurants, lounges, and theatre in the area. Did not interact with any staff as we arrived after "front desk hours."

Daniel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very easy to check in, never even met anyone from the property. It's all done with codes and the instructions were very clear. I think the only thing I didn't like is that I was charged extra on the day of the check in and I wasn't aware I'll need to also pay for a "cleaning fee" and some tax that I had to send over PayPal.

I opted for a personal room, small (as expected, and all I needed!) and very comfortable! Clean shared kitchen, bathroom and lounge area. Coffee and tea were provided which was perfect as I arrived late after most shops were closed. I will definitely stay again when I’m in the area! Thanks!

Good for the price. You are in a room with random people, but not that bad, guy did snore on one night but you get what you pay for. If your just looking for a place to sleep and pretty close to night life it’s a good stay
