Comfy and Spacious
“The Classic Double Room I stayed in was quite spacious and clean. I appreciated the nice tea and coffee tray provided, which made my mornings much more enjoyable. The bed felt comfortable, even if slightly basic, but it certainly met my needs for a short stay.” view full review
Amazing Shower Experience
“One of the standout features was the shower in my room. It was honestly the best shower I've had away from home in a long time. The water pressure was just right, making for a refreshing start to my day.” view full review
Charming Ambiance
