Awesome Stay Near Everything!

stellar locationhelpful staffsingle shower
I tell you, the location is stellar. A quick walk gets you right to the city center and parking is hassle-free. I loved this easy access. Staff were really good, they were helpful and polite, and always ready with suggestions.
The room looked quite old. Some plaster even fell off the wall. The shower only gave you one water setting, pretty annoying.

the room i occupied showed a clear lack of recent maintenance. the balcony needed refurbishment, and the shower barely trickled. these issues, combined with a high price, detracted from the overall value.
