decent stay downtown

central locationample storage spacemusical referenceblack moldinadequate storagelacking shelves
The hotel is located centrally. It is very accessible and walkable to EVERYTHING, STILL the room is so quiet. The room had ample storage space to hang clothes and space to maneuver luggage. It had musical references on the carpet and room numbers.
The shower was speckled with black MOLD all over. THE room lacked any degree of storage. There were no shelves or hooks. I could not find anywhere to put my belongings that was out of the way.

Decent Stay in Central area

convenient locationclose proximitysmall roompoor shower design
The location was convenient. The hotel is across from a shopping street. The bus stop was very close by. the train station was only a five minute walk.
The room I had was quite small. It was difficult to have two carry-ons in the room. The bathroom was pinched and the shower jets placement was poorly done, so I was constantly banging elbows.

fantastic stay with great perks!

perfect locationnightly drinksmall room
The location was indeed perfect. Everything felt so nearby! the room was a good size and very clean, i loved that. i also really appreciated the drink we received each night. it was a very nice touch after a long day.
The room was rather small making it slightly difficult to manage with two carry-ons. Larger luggage would definitely be a challenge. the bathroom, while equipped with multiple shower jets, felt a bit cramped. I found myself bumping elbows frequently.

My standard twin room was small. Maneuvering with luggage proved difficult. the lack of cleanliness i observed was unacceptable. dust accumulation was noticeable. moreover, the price did not reflect the value i received. I believe overpaying significantly.
