clean roomdelicious foodunwelcoming areaawful pillows
the room was super clean. i found one of the cleanest hotel rooms i have stayed in (and i have stayed in quite a few!). we also had food which was super affordable and very delicious.
the area did not feel very cute, especially arriving late at night. the pillows were also awful, quite flat and lumpy. i did ask for another but the replacement wasn't much better.

Excellent stay with great service

early roomclean roomsoft beddingroad noise
The staff acted quickly to prepare my room early. My room was clean and well kept. I found the shower hot with good pressure and bedding was soft. Air conditioning was a great benefit after long days traveling around the city.
The road noise was constant. I could not use the plug for the kettle on the counter.
