Great spot to crash after a concert, however it is very basic. Definitely a few issues with the room such as the bathroom ventilation, old pipes and lack of power of mini fridge, however for one night it is fine. Probably wouldn’t be great for more than a one night stay.

Disliked: The bathroom was not well ventilated, and they don’t provide a foot mat in the bathroom (so it gets very wet). The mini fridge is also very weak in power.
