10/10 Excellent
"The room was at least twice the size of a typical hotel room. There was a separate dressing area by the bathroom, which made things easier. Although it's an older building, everything was immaculate. Big windows and a comfortable bed made for a restful night. I just wished I'd had more time to explore everything"

10/10 Excellent
"Great location for attractions, train, and buses. Staff friendly and helpful. The bathroom door is on a spring because of fire code. I understand, but it is annoying to have it stay closed, especially when getting up in the night. That said, I would definitely stay here again."
