The check-in staff were really lovely and polite, and they kindly accommodated my request to store my medication in their fridge as my room didn’t have one, which I really appreciated. The room itself was clean, modern, and very comfortable – just perfect for a couple of nights. The location is also excellent, within walking distance of the train station, public transport, shopping, and plenty of places to eat. Overall, a great stay and I’d happily return.

The hotel is really beautifully decorated as it has a great mix of mid century modern aesthetic with a classic vibe. The hotel room was smaller than I expected, but great for just me on the trip. Overall great experience, also don’t forget to get the breakfast package.

This is a very basic hotel. I admitvv bc to bring very nervous when our airport shuttle dropped us off late at night. But, the bed was very comfy, free coffee in cafe downstairs in the morning and a perfect location won us over. Walk 2 blocks north to Lori’s Diner for and excellent breakfast. We will stay here again. There is a kettle and instant coffee and tea in the room and a hair dryer. No other amenities. We enjoyed our 2 night stay.
