Guest sentiment

  • Cleanliness5.0

    Mixed to negative: multiple guests reported stained curtains, dirty walls, bad smells and one reported a cockroach; one reviewer noted cleaner rooms, but overall cleanliness concerns are present.

  • Service10.0

    Generally strong front-desk staff: several guests praised friendly, helpful service (quick room changes, attentive check-in). One major parking-related owner incident was reported but staff performance in-room/front-desk was repeatedly described positively.

  • Location9.5

    Very good location: multiple guests called out the great/central location; downside is street noise at night and local curb/parking management issues that affect convenience.

  • Room Quality8.2

    Rooms described as cozy, art‑deco/old‑school and comfortable but small; some wear-and-tear noted (stains, dated décor), limited in‑room features (no mini-fridge) and occasional issues with utilities/noise.

  • Amenities5.0

    Below average: guests repeatedly noted lack of refrigerator/mini-fridge, lack of basic items (cup, tea bags), and parking is not included/was charged inconsistently, which reduces perceived amenities.

  • Value for Money7.6

    Mixed: several guests felt it was a reasonable/budget option and got their money's worth for short stays, while others felt it was not the best value at the price paid (parking surcharges contributed to negative value perception).

  • Food and Beverage8.1

    Moderately positive: one guest noted a good paying breakfast; however, some refused to patronize the on-site deli due to other service/owner issues—overall modestly favorable for basic offerings.

  • Overall Experience9.0

    Overall mixed but generally satisfactory for short, budget stays: many guests found the hotel safe, cozy and offering good staff service and location, though cleanliness, noise and parking issues tempered some stays.
