awesome stay!

helpful staff excellent location
i stayed in a triple room, and it was super clean and convenient. the staff really helped with directions and recommendations, so i explored so much. i found the hotel close to all the nightlife, yet the neighborhood remained very quiet at night. breakfast was spacious and set me up perfectly for the day.

a decent stay overall

nice staff various breakfast flaking paint steep steps
the staff were really nice. their attitude made me smile right at the entrance. breakfast served me well. it had coffee, milk, bread, cheese, ham, jams, juices, and cookies.
The steps into the hotel are almost straight up. the steps to the room levels are narrow and curvy. the building has not been well maintained. Doors have flaking paint.

mixed experience with some notable issues

street noise stained bedsheets
i encountered a few problems . the noise from the street was constant. the window didn't seal properly so it was cold and loud. the bedsheets also had stains on them in several spots. staff did not clean them, the cleaning left much to be desired.

mixed feelings about this stay

dirty sink thin windows
the location proved quite convenient for exploring.
My room was not clean upon arrival, i found hairs in the bathroom sink. the shower lacked water pressure. also, the noise from the street was constant due to thin windows. I had trouble sleeping because of it.
