Small room, but clean & comfortable

The room was small, but clean. Comfortable bed. We only had one small suitcase and a bag with us — otherwise it would have been a bit challenging getting up the stairs.

Overall a quaint stay, and the room and lobby areas were decently clean. However, it did get a little hot in the room sometimes because there was no AC. The mini fridge had leftover beer bottles probably left by the previous guest, and there was no water provided for me. I found a small cockroach in the bathroom but was able to deal with it without much fuss. What I disliked the most was the hotel’s refusal to store my bags for a bit after check-out (a common courtesy that is maintained at most places) so I could explore the city one last time before my flight.

Great economy stay close to it all

Stayed here before, consistent little spot. Its older building lots of stairs but a more than fair price and overall worth it for sure on budget. Just read limitations like parking no front desk etc and its nice enough spot!

What we didn't like is about having to wait a week for our deposit back. If It was taken from my account in seconds then I t should be back in my account the same day as check out. But this is not the hotels fault. But overall the stay was great and the worker was exc
