Very low budget and it shows. No elevator so be ready to lug your bags up the steps. Check your coffee machine for mold before you use it. Definitely won’t be back there.

Very good value. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Not a lot of extra luxuries, but we weren’t expecting that for the price. We just needed a clean, comfortable place to sleep and this was perfect!
