Great location, relaxed vibe. Perfect for a short stay. Friendly housekeeping staff! Missing a full length mirror, shower pressure was poor, we didn’t enjoy washing dishes in a bucket and using bathroom vanity to drain and rinse.

The office staff were very helpful and improved my stay. On the other hand the studio room I stayed in seemed slightly dated and the kitchenette, with no sink, left a lot to be desired.

Nice large room, had everything we needed for a 2 night stay with microwave and mini fridge. We had a very old heater that did smoke and set our fire alarm off late in the evening. Told staff in morning and advised to not use the heating but went back with the heater as the smell was still coming from the heater and room was still quite strong smelling, this staff member was great and apologized, when we came home, room and been made up with replacement hearter and some chocolate left for the inconvenience.
