Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Pros: comfy bed, heater, hot water. Cons: extremely dirty, candy wrappers on the floor, hair and stains on the bedding and sheets, water bottle behind one of the beds, paper thin walls, extremely small towels, too overpriced for what you get.

Rolled in late on Sunday for a room to stay the night. Check in was quick and friendly. Room was to be expected for the price. Clean and orderly but nothing luxurious. Great value for what it is and not a dump at all. Very close to main attractions. I’d stay again.

Super friendly and helpful owner and crew, if bedding and sheets can be newer, that's 5 stars. An affordable place with walking distance to Gondola. I appreciate you host and offer us a room during the new year with short notice. Happy new year!

Perfect for what we needed, a budget hotel for one night within walking distance to the events center. Tons of shopping, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. Easy check in. Room was clean but a bit run down, didn't bother us.
