I only came for one day while needing some quiet time to get work done, so I can’t speak to some of the negative reviews I’ve seen online, but I had a decent experience. The staff was cordial, the room was clean, and I liked my little patio area that faced the courtyard. The hotel shares space with a pub/restaurant, but it wasn’t rowdy or sketchy during my stay and I didn’t feel unsafe at all. (Then again, I’m from NYC 😛)

Dirty place. Smelled like pot. Outlets in the room where hungging from the wall. Beds felt like sleeping in plywood and had metal box frame that made so much noise. The only good thing was that was not carpet in the room. Also the curtain rod in the bathroom was falling off etc etc etc
