We were surpised to learn that our unit did not have an ensuite bathroom or shower, but one is available down the hall (hostel style). The room is tidy, and clean however and there are plenty of things to see and do. The check-in was easy, and the staff are friendly and happy to help.

Okay

the hotel location is in a good spot, close to shopping centers, transportation and parking garage's. However, I did not know there wasn't going to be a bathroom/shower in the room and had to use a community one instead. other than that, the stay was good for travelers who will be more outdoors instead of staying in the room.

A real bargain in the off season ($75 USD/night). It is very bare bones, bathroom/shower down the hall, no room service and a small basic room but the bed was comfortable and it was quiet, and you can't beat the location...
