Room was exactly what we needed. Windows were a bit drafty and bed was a bit creaky, but other than that it provided all we needed. It was nice to see a power board for more plug-in's other than just the single power-point beside/behind the bed!

RACHAEL

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were so accommodating! I was able to check in a little early which was VERY much appreciated after such an early flight. They also held my bags for me for basically half the day after I checked out. The room was very cute and full of character. The shared bathrooms were very clean and never once was an issue. The ONLY thing I would caution is that the room are above the hotel's bar and restaurant. It's very loud at times if you're sensitive to noise and try to go to sleep earlier than 11:00pm.
