The room worked well for me and was quite spacious. It had all the kitchen tools I needed and was located in a quite area. The only drawback was the WiFi access was lacking some evenings and the front desk was not particularly helpful. Otherwise I enjoyed the stay.

Good budget friendly stay

We booked last minute and it was a good, budget friendly stay. Easy check in, spacious and good facilities. The decor could do with an update, but for the price we had no complaints.

I REALLY wanted to love this place when I booked it, but sadly it has seen better days, like maybe 20 to 30 years ago. The room was clean, but there was mold in the shower. The woman who checked us in was very friendly and walked me to the room to explain the locks. After that, it was down hill. The mattress had a hole in the middle and sank in about 6 inches when we sat on it. The pillows were comfortable, so that was good. The ancient heater wouldn't stay on, and it had a horrible stench to it. We noticed too late that the windows wouldn't shut all the way. The room was freezing! The ONLY thing that saved us was a thick blanket we found in the closet. Getting out of bed in the morning was brutal. Again, the room was FREEZING! Thankfully, we only stayed for one night.
