The location of this hotel is fabulous. I liked the effort they have made to be eco friendly, and the option of getting a room with a single bed is very helpful for solo travelers.

Location was great. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed here in a heatwave, so unfortunately, without AC, the room was very hot and they only provided a small fan. Otherwise, our stay was enjoyable

No aircon in the rooms so take note in hot weather. Windows open a little and there was a small fan in the room. No fridge in the room. Basic but ok for a short stay. Staff helpful. Good location.

Nice location. Great staff. Ken was very helpful when I was checking in. I feel like the amenities weren’t well explained so I missed things and found out later. Also it was really hot and I had a small fan only to keep me cool. I tried to open the windows but being on a busy street, it allowed the noise to come in so was tricky situation at night. But I would stay here again. Good price and convenient for a three night stay. Lots of food options and easy transport options nearby. There was always a staff at the front desk.
