The hotel was nice and the location was convenient, but the breakfast was disappointing. The options were limited and the quality wasn’t as good as expected. Everything else about the stay was fine, but the breakfast definitely needs improvement.

The students manning the reception were excellent and very knowledgeable and client friendly. Room was in much better shape than I expected based on the reviews I read before I booked . Overall good experience for a budget concious client. May the city council should do a better job finding shelter space for the homeless around the residence.

Simple, but adequate accommodations, with healthy breakfast, just 10 minutes walk to the main City attractions. Twice cheaper than other higher end hotels in the area.
