Reviews

  • Amy from United States (8/10)

    The hotel was basic, not fancy, but just what we wanted. We were comfortable and the room was clean. Bed was very comfortable! Needs a little updating and fixture repairing, but overall we were completely happy. Street parking was easy. We’ll be back!

  • Toderascu from Moldova (6/10)

    Good location

  • Lloyd from South Africa (6/10)

    For a good price, you get a room to yourself and your own bathroom. Beats a hostel any day. And everyone working there is friendly and helpful.
