I was fine with a no frills room, but it was freezing in the room and no way to turn up the heat. I had to sleep in my Canafa Goose jacket. Would not recommend during winter.

Way to much noise in the room above me, internet didn’t work in my room and when I asked to use the laundry room they just rudely said “sorry you can’t” I asked why they said it was past 7pm I said ok well can I use it in the morning they said “no we will be using it tommrow” so why list that you have a laundry mat if nobody can use it?

Very good accommodation, clean and comfortable, I would stay there again. One complaint is that the Cable TV service said only “to be announced”. & never showed the actual listings. Also sugar was not provided with the coffee makings.

Door damage caused anxiety

The room was overall clean however, the outlets were either broken, missing and just holes in the wall or not secure into the wall. The door trim has been smashed open a few times, screws holding it together and the locks had been moved around due to damage. Did not feel secure and safe
