9.1 Excellent
Fun area, good for us as it's near family here, always a welcome option. Beds very comfy. Friendly.
A
4.8 Mediocre
Location was good, and it was nice to have the option for parking in the ramp around the corner. The staff was friendly enough but not very helpful with the issues with our radiator. The price seemed reasonable, although less so when we saw how small the room was, how noisy the radiators were, and how thin the walls were.

Heat is provided by old-timey radiators which clank and are hard to control. The front desk wasn't very helpful when we couldn't get one closed (we were roasting)- they just said, "turn the knob" (duh). Thanks to paper-thin walls, we got to hear all the noise from the hallway, plus the couple upstairs, um, coupling on a squeaky bed. The breakfast was disappointing.

A
6.8 Okay
Front desk very helpful. Room spacious. Beds very comfortable.

Hallway dingy. Room furniture sparing and dingy. Room doesn't have a closed off closet. Carpet and walls could be brighter.

A
10.0 Excellent
The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Paul was so polite and upgraded my room so my daughter, with whom I was visiting, could stay with me and we could each have our own beds.

My room had a hint of cigarette smoke when we first arrived. I had to spray it. The sign clearly stated NO SMOKING.

A
8.2 Great
The place is in an old building, which is cool, but also has its drawbacks. I liked the feel of the place generally. It's definitely not posh, and you won't break the bank to stay here.

The bathroom was pretty lousy. Low shower head, toilet was on a tilt, and the room itself needs updating.
