Amazing ROI - while the property is slightly dated, and breakfast is simple coffee and bakery - you get a clean room, with very nice firm bed. You are out all day, just need to spend a night - why pay more? Bunch of nice restaurants across the street as an added bonus.

It did the job
Basic room with older finishes. Room was affordable place to stay and had some nice small outdoor areas. Worked for me as a solo traveler and was close to downtown. Did not have good ventilation and overall was in need of an upgrade, but it did the job and staff were very friendly.
