“This is a property in progress, one with a fantastic owner and friendly staff; some have found the experience rewarding, especially in the larger suites. While some logistical kinks need ironing out - signage, check-in clarity, and consistent Wi-Fi access - its location is both a blessing for accessibility and a curse for light sleepers. For a traveller seeking character over seamless modernity, and who doesn't mind a bit of urban clamor, this place could be an interesting, affordable choice.”
