I found mouse droppings in my room after my first night there!! My room had a mouse deterent device which I only noticed after I saw the droppings. I was not comfortable staying another night even though they offered a different room. Front Desk would not offer me a refund when I went to check out early due to a prepaid room booking. Front desk implied I may have attracted mice due to my having food or drink in my room (which I did not). Overall, I was very displeased with the handling of this and ended up paying double because I moved hotels.

This was a tough place to stay for four nights. There is no coffee maker in the room.or anywhere in the hotel. The bed was poor. There was no desk and chair in the room to work at. It was noisy at night. You can hear everything going on below and across the hall.

A dump. Filthy, decrepit, worn out. Tv, but no cable or satellite (front desk said it was mentioned on the website, but when I opened the site he couldn’t find it. “It says we have tv, it doesn’t say we have cable.” I took too many pictures to post of dirt, clumsy attempts to patch or repair walls, shower stall, doors…They insisted on a $200 damage deposit, there wasn’t anything in the room that would add up to $200.

Decent stay!

Room was better than expected, decent bed and tv. No coffee/tea in the room. Guy behind reception was pretty rude to another guest whilst I was checking in. Other staff were polite. Good stay, nice street with good food/drink options.

Very helpful staff; the area was surprisingly interesting, and we still managed to walk to the waterfront every day. Only 2 hangers in the room. Bring hangers with you. Several damaged things in room but there was still a damage deposit of $200.

The rooms themselves were clean, small, but clean. Area was very nice. No TV- did not know that in advance. Main issue- constant door slamming and heavy items being dragged and dropped. The whole floor was shaking from 9 pm till after midnight both nights. I think the place also has apartments for rent- and think what we heard was someone moving in or out.
