This is a great place to stay if you just need a decent place to sleep on a budget. Staff was great. Breakfast was good. Property is small and limited seating for breakfast so expect to eat in your room but I prefer that sometimes anyway. Rooms were recently remodeled and beds and pillows were very comfy!

The size of the room was nice and cozy. The floor panels in the hallways were lifting up. If you don't watch your step, you could dall. I would not stay at this hotel again.

Good value for old town if you just need a clean and quiet place to stay. Room was clean and comfortable, staff is great. The location, like anything in Old Town, is super convenient for getting around the city, including the free Flyer shuttle between the airport to the Old Town transit center, and there are lots of walkable amenities. Highway noise in that neighborhood, but you don’t hear it in the room. Easy to put recyclables in either the room and in the hallway hallways. Some of the common areas, elevator, etc. are pretty tired looking. The flooring in the corridors especially is in a pretty sorry state.

I didn’t deal with staff or amenities. The room was clean but sparse. There was a”an awful smell every morning. I tried looking for the source but couldn’t find one….it dissipated as the day wore on.

When I came to check in, the staff on duty wasn’t very friendly. Very blasé & matter of fact. Not quite what I expect when checking into a hotel. I was annoyed they charge for parking, but whatever. But also, that parking garage is so tight to get in & out. I noticed the flooring is in real need of repair, & the AC units attached to each room (from the hallway) were falling apart. My room was fine. Clean & plenty of towels, linens & space. But the TV is tiny & didn’t work. Lastly, which I was fairly irritated about. The breakfast that is included is a joke! I know continental breakfast could mean a wide range of things but there wasn’t any protein options available. Items offered were: two cereal options, oatmeal, bread/toast, tiny muffins, waffles, terrible coffee & hot tea. No eggs, no bacon or sausage; just carbs & starch. There wasn’t even fruit offered. Honestly the breakfast was insulting. Also, all the plates, bowls, cups & utensils were disposable, tiny and of the cheapest quality. Which, come to think of it is fairly hypocritical. They had signs all around the room to “conserve energy” & “save the planet” attached to reuse your towels and be mindful of lights being on. For the record, I’m all about being environmentally conscious & responsible. But where’s that same logic when you don’t offer reusable kitchen utensils & plates for your guests at breakfast. I would not recommend this hotel at all.
