9/10 Wonderful! (144 reviews)
Overall this is a great stay, the hotel is spotless and has nice furnishings, it is very good value. The location is amazing if you want to be within walking distance to the main train station and downtown. My only issue is the room size, if you are coming with more than 1 suitcase be prepared to live out of your suitcase, while the kitchenette is nice to have, it comes at the expense of no bag storage area besides a small front closet. For two people it is extremely tight. I am also not convinced we were given the 237sq/ft room as per our booking, however, I am not certain, but based on other small places I have stayed this was very small and tight. If having more room is of value to you I would recommend their suites.
