It is exactly what you look for in a budget hotel option but I do wish it was a little bit less expensive given the offering. It isn't overly nice or updated but it is generally clean and in a great location for walking to things downtown.

We used this hotel as a place to sleep for which it was excellent. About 10 to 15 minute walk from the station which for us was great (when not raining). We didn't have breakfast only because we prefer to sample local cafés of which there are a few very close.

Room was quirky but clean. Parking was easy and free. Check in was a little wonky as reception was a little hidden. The walls are suuuper thin. The bed was comfy and the shower hot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was great and the beds were comfortable. Close to restaurants and grocery, able to walk. Everything was clean and maintained. They even had a travel cot set up for my little guy. Only complaints were the parking and the fact that our building was in a separate building at the back of the property and only accessible by stairs. It was inconvenient because you had to haul your bags from the front as it was closed off to driving. The parking lot had minimal stalls and you had to park a half block away and pay.
