8/10 Good
"Great small space located downtown, easy to check in and shower was easy to figure out how to work compared to what other reviews said: press red power button, light and fan button, then turn the dial to the left and the second dial to your desired temperature, it was even possible to play radio in the shower. The downfall for us was that although beds and linens were very clean, the floors looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed and found hairs and other flecks of things around, along with mirrors/glass doors having finger prints/smudges. The couch had crumbs on it and the dining table was not wiped. Walls were a bit beat/chipped and could use some paint work. Walls between units are not soundproof to keep in mind if sensitive to noise, you can hear neighbours cooking/slamming drawers and walking. Otherwise the stay was good apart from that"

"Nice clean room with patio door where you can bring in your suitcases. Breakfast was simple, but good. I would recommend extending the breakfast hours until 9:30 or 10. 9 o'clock is a bit early to close the kitchen and pick up all the food. Great location! Work is being done on the property. Once completed, it will be nice."
