    Sincerely, it was a really amazing stay for one night. They placed us in a standard studio which was good sized and fantastic. The staff were accommodating, doing great job. The hotel's location was incredible in the morning with the trucks.

    The location is great, with a bakery just across the street for breakfast and close to shops for a function over the weekend.

    Nice hotel located in a fairly quiet area not far from restaurants, a local supermarket and other food services, and the shops and carnival. The staff were welcoming, incredibly nice and helped me with free parking. Quick check in and in general great service. Everything very convenient:)))

    Horrible. The worst hostel I have ever seen. The room was literally a garage without even a door separating the toilet from the bedroom.

    I feel the room was poor value for money. I expected a standard motel unit - this was inferior. It was old, cold, noisy.
