Absolutely Perfect Location
You get the best of both worlds when staying at this hotel. While you won't have to deal with the noise of being in the centre of the city, you will still be close enough to it all that a short walk will have you right there.

Delicious Breakfast Each Morning
You won't have to look very far to get a
delicious breakfast each morning. Not only does the hotel provide tasty
choices, but they also serve it on a nice little patio.

Very Tired Looking
When you first arrive and as you get settled, you will notice the hotel is in need of some updating. Since it's been around for a while, its age is starting to show. The hotel would benefit from some updating.
negative:
Wi-Fi Comes Extra
The Wi-Fi at this hotel doesn't come for free, as it is an additional cost for each day you want to use it. Because the signal isn't the best, you might not want to pay for it.
negative:
Paper-Thin Walls A Bummer
Because the walls at this hotel are so thin, you will likely be able to hear other guests coming and going, which can keep you awake at night.
