Clean but incredibly small room! I was expecting a small room, this was even smaller. Breakfast was so gross, skipped the 2nd day. The only reason to stay here is the location. 2 blocks from eats and transit.

The room, although a tad small, was very clean and had everything I needed including working air conditioning. Towels and toiletries were provided. Shower was hot but the water pressure could have been a bit higher. Overall, a very pleasant stay and was great value for money considering its' location.
