I was supposed to have a 1-room reservation, but I ended up in a room with two bunk beds and other people. The original description of what I reserved was not as detailed as it should have been. The hotel definitely felt more like a hostel.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was clean. Hotel clerk, Dillon (sp?) was kind and helpful. He had a list of local restaurants at the front desk and answered all my questions. There is no fridge or microwave in the rooms but that was fine. There is free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate in the lobby and the microwave is downstairs in the basement. They even have dessert plates, dinner plates, bowls, napkins and utensils that you can use! The hotel is in walking distance to lots of restaurants and transportation options. The cost of the hotel was great!

Tbh it was a good hotel. Very clean, very spacious as well! Loved the two bedroom concept w a curtain separating the two. However I think the windows should be thicker because I could hear absolutely everything at night from the outside and it drove me insane. I couldn’t sleep because of the traffic noise or the people shouting. Felt like the window was open.
