Clean and Comfortable

The room I stayed in was spotless and spacious with beautiful views out the window. It had all the essentials like a microwave and a mini fridge, which made my stay super convenient. I felt so relaxed here, and it truly became my go-to spot whenever I need a break from the city.

Delicious Food & Beverages

After a long day, I loved relaxing at the bar downstairs. I enjoyed a freshly made burger with fries while sipping on a cold beer from the tap. The food was fantastic, and it was so nice to have dinner just downstairs after a busy day out.

Nice Amenities

The clean bathroom was stocked with soft towels and had hot water available at all times. I appreciated the extra touches like the communal shelf in the hallway with essentials that made no-fuss personal care a breeze during my stay.

Comfy Beds

The bed in my room was exceptionally comfortable. After a long day of exploring, I looked forward to unwinding in it, and it did not disappoint. I slept like a baby every night I was there, which was just what I needed for my travels.
