Great location and easy walk to downtown.

Great location and easy walk to downtown. We would have given the property 5 stars except for the following two things. 1) Door to balcony wouldnt shut properly and let in air and light. 2) the floors creak and could hear the folks above us everytime they moved. Other than that room was nice, clean and had all the amenities. No front desk but no need for one.

Beautiful modern property. Well kept. Loved the guest room closet for items you may have forgotten to take with you. Nice touch. We had a room facing the main road- a little noisy. That said- if you live in a city you will be fine. I would stay again.

Dormitory feel

Exterior of property, particularly entrance, needs some cleaning up or refurbishing. Didn’t realize the hotel was an “ on your own”, meaning you check in, out, no service whatever. This is not clear in the ad. A bit of a dormitory feel than a hotel.

Not a pretty location, but a good location to get downtown to B St. easily where there are lots of amenities; fairy queen, in terms of the room, and well furnished with lots of free water as well. Would stay there again, without hesitation.
