"Very interesting stay. I would call it one step up from a hostel. Only because you had to share a bath and water closet. I would imagine female guests would balk at that , but I didn't have an issue. $90 a night far better that the $497 up the street. Just wish the rooms were a tad larger."

"Overall it was quite good and acceptable for a few days of stay. It also is situated in a good neighborhood and close to stores, restaurants and some touristy places. The beds are comfortable and the staff was helpful too A few other things: the Wi-Fi is quite unstable and not very fast, the streets beside the hotel can get very noisy if one goes to sleep early or wakes up late and there also seems to be low water pressure in the sink and shower"
