Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were polite and accommodating to the best of their ability. The room I had was on the 1st floor and facing the street, I heard every car, truck, emergency vehicle and conversation that went by. If you’re a light sleeper you should ask for a room towards the back when booking. The curtains in my room for not completely close on the ends so you could see up into the room from the street ( yes I went outside and looked) so I had to pin the curtain to the wall. Other than that it was a nice clean room with a comfy bed in a good location. Parking is 1st come 1st serve so get there early.

Enjoyable stay

Enjoyed our stay! The staff are all kind and helpful. We enjoyed the sitting area on the 3rd floor near our room as well as the outdoor terrace. Our room was clean. We had a refrigerator but not a microwave. There was a coffee maker but we did not use it. They gave us a discount card for a coffee shop down the road which was cute and very good. The beds were quite firm which for me wasn’t the most comfortable but that just comes down to preference. I would definitely stay again.
