    The soundproofing is a nightmare. You can hear every rustle outside the door. It is impossible to sleep without earplugs. The fire alarm went off several times a night, we went outside several times in the late evening. The room itself is a depressing box, but a night or two is fine

    Location, staff was very friendly and helpful

    Front entrance was deceiving. The rooms was horrible. 2 single beds that felt like they'd fall apart. WiFi spotty. No cable. No parking. Check out at 11am, but street parking until 8am. Definitely NOT worth the price. I've stayed in better for less.

    The bathroom floor was with water every time you would shower. Parking was not free, but thankfully, it was on the streets since we were there on the weekend. The AC was so loud and old.

    Location was convenient with regards to access to downtown by foot.

    Little to no parking. Only 4 places otherwise you need to park on the street which is usually crowed. The room was way below what I expected. No tV until I complained and temporarily fix was put in place.

    Not much. Below my usual standard.

    good value for money and great location. Good size room, comfy bed, clean and friendly staff! Air conditioner, mini fridge and microwave were great additions :)

    A/C very noisy, no cable TV, no coffee machine or access to bottled water. The property is under renovation - looks like some lovely improvements to lobby are underway. The online impression was somewhat misleading - we anticipated something better than what we received. Staircase access only.

    Beds were clean and comfortable; bathroom was clean

    The bathroom was not good, mold in the shower, super thin TP, hairs on the towels, almost no water pressure and a tiny shower head. The Internet was weak, the temperature in the room was too cold and it was unclear how to turn it up. There was a TV but no channels to watch, maybe something you need to pay extra for.

    The location is good, nice cafes close by.

    The room was really very cold. It took the heater 3-4 hours to kick in. There was a lot of commotion in the middle of the night, and a guest above my room at 4 am in the morning was walking around in big boots (atleast it seemed so) couldn't sleep well.

    The price for the room was good. The staff was good and the check in was smooth, the facilities were fair enough.
