Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are very small and not having a bathroom in the room is quite inconvenient. Luckily as I was leaving early every day, I did not have much issue finding a vacant shower (shared bathroom), but I can imagine it could get difficult during busy periods and likely causing delays. I would not book it unless there was no other choice.

Great little place. Close to buses and Light rail. I had a car so street parking was convenient. Place was clean and boutique with shared facilities. Downsides: rooms are small and doors are loud (cannot enter or exit quietly), walls are thin. If you’re a light sleeper, being ear plugs and maybe headphones as well

I found the room was very small. The shared bathroom was just Ok. There was lack of toilet paper, so guess used hand paper and made the bathroom untidy.
