Good value. Rooms were clean and fresh. Staff was courteous and helpful. Not fancy or in the high end part of town but I would recommend it for a short stay at a low rate. Glad we picked it.

Exceeded our expectations!

We were very impressed with the service, comfort, decor, amenities and value of the Aiden hotel! The staff was friendly, helpful, kind and responsive to our questions and needs (e.g. what bus to take where, requests for more towels). Having coffee/ hot drinks and cold water available at all times was a real plus, not to mention bikes and bike helmets! Would stay again and feel lucky to have found it. The perfect small hotel with a great staff! Thank you, especially to the night manager who was gracious and very accommodating.
