While some rooms might be basic, the friendly staff and the overall clean environment make it a worthwhile consideration.

quiet neighborhoodbeautiful entrancefriendly staffdecent shower

The location is very attractive. It is also situated in a quiet neighborhood. The building entrance was beautiful! The staff members were cute. The room was quite clean. I found a good-sized shower that suited my needs.

I did notice that I needed to leave the room key at reception when going out though there was always someone available to collect it upon my return.
