Location was perfect! It was super close to many restaurants. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable! I got tea, coffee, and biscuits in my room. It was a nice touch. Water in the fridge too!
Doors were slammy. People upstairs stomped around. people ran up and down the stairs. It was a little noisy.

kinda meh, really

weird smellbroken remote
the room i got, a double room private bathroom, had this weird smell, kinda like old socks. also, the tv remote didn't work, and i'm no rocket scientist but i expect these things to function. i asked someone about it, but they were like 'oh well' not even trying to resolve it. and the stairs, they're a killer if you have bags.

perfect locationamazing staffexcellent customer servicebroken shower rail
The location was perfect! It had easy access to many nearby dining options. The staff showed amazing support after my motorcycle got stolen, I really appreciate their help. The customer service was excellent!
The shower had temperature fluctuations during use. The bathroom needs a shelf for toiletries. The shower rail also was broken in the bathroom.
