Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a convenient stay for travelers needing a bed with shared bathroom facilities. While the tea/coffee facilities are available, they seem to be overlooked in terms of cleanliness and towel refreshment.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The location was convenient, but the dining experience had room for improvement. The facilities were well-maintained, and the overall value for money was satisfactory.
The hotel has a prime location in the heart of the city, making it convenient to explore the area. The rooms are basic with shared bathrooms, suitable for travelers looking for cost-effective options. The service provided was satisfactory with available shuttle services for added convenience. However, the dining options are limited, and the price is a bit high for the shared washrooms.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was perfect, right in the financial district and close to Union Square and Market. The rooms were comfortable, but having shared washrooms was a downside. The service was good, with helpful staff, but the issue with the elevator was a hassle.
