The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff was pleasant and very helpful. However, the rooms are not well soundproofed—you can hear guests in the room above. If you plan to stay here, I recommend requesting an upstairs room and bringing earplugs or a sound machine to help drown out the noise.

Staff was kind and helpful. Sheets and duvet had visible stains on them. Door to outside had a very large gap under, allowing a significant amount of cold air in. Thankfully the heater worked perfectly and kept the room warm.

If you just go for a night and need a well-priced hotel to stay this is a good pick! The rooms are clean and it’s fine for a night. We stayed three nights and would not do that again. It is SO noisy, we woke up several times a night from people walking and talking past our room. The breakfast is also quite sad. No peanut butter or jam and the coffee was not good.
