Front desk Lady is wonderful, always helps and helps. Room was lovely and clean only issue was the other guests smoking in the bathrooms and on the deck area... it smells and is not good for asthmatics. I don't think the management knows this is happening as its before or after their hours

Great place to stay for a night if you're looking for something relatively inexpensive but clean. I cannot speak highly enough of the hotel staff. She really went out of her way to make me and my family comfortable. Fantastic customer service! ❤️

Close to the train station, street parking but not too hard to find a park. Staff on phone was helpful and polite. Didn't see any staff in person during our stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable, but the building is tired. eg ripped carpet on stairs =trip hazard, bathroom had a lot of plaster very worn etc. The key system is a bit weird, but ok once you work it out! I understand it is an old building, but these are maintenance issues.

The property was an easy walk to transportation, clean, had an issue with a blocked toilet, looks like property is under renovations in parts (Or needs a little) beds very comfortable, great views, has character. Very affordable, and friendly staff. Nice and quiet for a mini vacation. Or a weekend retreat.
