We only spent an evening here but really enjoyed it and would come back without hesitation. Room with private bath was very well appointed and staff super helpful. Check in times are confusing and thank goodness for Expedia staff who helped. Communication with the hotel (ie email or by phone) could be improved but a great spot to stay at on a budget.

Room is small and fellow guests can be noisy. However the shared kitchen is excellent fully equipped and they also provide daily free vegetable soup. Location is convenient.
