EXCELLENT stay!

short walkexcellent breakfasthelpful staffample coffee

The location was GREAT, a short walk to the Hydro. The breakfast included mushrooms, which i love. The staff always felt helpful and cute. My room came with tea, coffee, and plenty of milk.

My room was across the street from the main building. Crossing the road was slightly inconvenient.

I found the room quite basic. The decor felt dated. I also noticed that the soundproofing was not great. I could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway.
