There was the Bookshop Bar across the street that stayed open all night. We heard noisy people at the bar and right outside out window, drunk and laughing. One moning they even tried to enter the building - so drunk or drugged out. Never slept because of all the noise. We could not wait to get out of that hotel.

Great Hotel in a Great Location

The hotel is a short walk from the bus stop. It’s on a main road, so there are shops and restaurants all around it. I was able to check in early for a small fee (less than $20). The hotel rooms are nice and large enough to sort through my bags. The breakfast was delicious. The only negative is that you do have to walk up a few steps to get in to the hotel. I would definitely stay here again!

Location location lication!

The location can't be beat! I stayed 2 seperate nights. The first night the room was tiny with two small single beds. Was right on main street with no soundproof. The second stat was much better, room was larger with doublebed, back side and quiet.

A great stay! Comfy beds, good staff, close to things, only drawback is you're right in the center of the nightlife area so you can expect to hear music and drunkenness and random yelling late into the evening.
