Not for us

Front desk was helpful in letting us check in early. The room including the bathroom had extremely dim lighting. There were weird stain on the curtains and the pillows were smelly. The hallways smelled like sewage. Then at 6 am housekeeping decided to vacuum the hallways on a Sunday morning waking us up. Decided to leave a whole night before my checkout without asking for a refund, I just needed to get out of there.

The room was really small and a bit cold but for the price I really couldn’t be upset. I didn’t come expecting a full service luxury hotel and I left very happy. The hotel itself is really well decorated and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was also a huge plus as everything was walkable despite the low temperatures outside. Overall a very positive experience and would love to stay here again.
