Pleasant stay
Cute hotel, comfortable rooms, convenient location. Only issues were 1) we tried calling 4 times to let them know flight was significantly delayed, and no one ever answered the phone, and 2) there is a frosted glass window between the bathroom and the bedroom, which means if anyone turns on the bathroom light, the bedroom is illuminated (which woke both of us up at different points during the stay).

Would stay again
Room was clean. Spacious for all my things. Bathroom was a good size. Windows open so I got fresh air. Bed was comfortable. No complaints. Would stay again.

Small but very clean and modern. Only major disappointment was the lack of sugar free sweetener for the coffee.

Everything was excellent. The only complaint I have is the shower. The floor was extremely slippery and dangerous when rinsing the soap off your body.

The hotel was in a safe area. Also, it was right across the street from the subway. It was nice not to have to walk along way to transportation, especially when it was late in the evening. I would definitely stay there again.
