8/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)

While I'm glad there's available parking, the parking area is a tight area that makes getting in and out a bit tricky. Sometimes, you need another person to navigate you out of there.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)

I actually really liked the small rooms. They had a certain charm — cozy, unpretentious, almost endearing in their simplicity. That said, I do wish they were better soundproofed. You’ll hear everything that goes on in the hallway, and I mean everything. The sweet, tender moments between families. The hushed giggles of lovers sharing a private joke. The guttural symphony of someone purging their late-night choices into a wastebasket. It’s all part of the ambiance, I suppose — an unexpectedly intimate glimpse into the lives of strangers. If you're a light sleeper or value privacy, pack earplugs. But if you don't mind a little audio theatre with your stay, there's something oddly human about it.
