"Check-in and check-out were incredibly easy. The room and the washroom, were quite spacious and clean. The complimentary coffee and tea were nice, and they also have a nice selection of juices and breakfast foods available downstairs for guests to enjoy. The slight downsides were the hair dry being quite dusty when I tried to use it, and the building is rather old so the windows had a slight draft. This wasn't an issue for us during the summer, but I can see it being slightly cold in the winter....
