Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No place to check in early and drop bags, 4 flights of angled stairs with varying rails, very comfortable bed, ceiling fan, wall electric fireplace, small kitchen on 3rd floor with ice machine. No TV which is great because I only really sleep when im downtown, great city view, expected sirens occasionally. Overall great location, reasonable price, but tough amount of stairs.

Loved staying here, nice clean rooms, perfect little kitchen. I suggest booking a room on the 3rd floor so you don't have to walk anymore of the stairs. Lol! Entrance and carpet up to rooms could be updated. Very central to everything, restaurants and bars right outside your door. I would stay here again and highly recommend
