Staff was very kind and accommodating, room was clean and heating was so nice in the winter. Only downside is the walk up style building, so pack light just in case!
Staff is friendly, helpful and personable. It’s a simple hotel but it’s relatively cheap and you get what you need and exactly what you pay for. It’s quaint, cozy, simplified and straight to the point. I’ve been here twice and would happily stay again.
The staff was so friendly and helpful. The room we had was clean and met all of our needs. The subway was just a short walk away. We will be back for sure.
The room was fabulous! We upgraded to a room with a bathroom, it had a tv, desk, microwave, fridge, and the heating worked great. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We definitely would come again!
