Le bruit, la salle de bain unique pour 4 chambres et une douche non utilisable donc nous devons utiliser la salle de bain d’un autre étage donc une douche pour huit chambres. C’est du sport et une belle organisation.

The breakfast was a wonderful addition. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, the beds were small but comfortable, and the staff was wonderful. Very loud location on a weekend but we didn't mind. Great location as far as being in the heart of the city!

The noise level was variable, mostly coming from outside traffic, but that's part of being in a city.
