reasonable stay

convenient location helpful staff free parking low pressure no blockout carpeted bathroom
the location was handy because i wanted to be close to transportation hubs. it was a quick walk to both the train and bus stations. i was also happy that parking was free. the staff was nice and very willing to help (that's always a plus!).
the shower's water pressure was unfortunately very low. the room also got quite bright at night because there were no blockout curtains. i also found the carpeted bathroom to be a bit strange.

Central Location and Helpful Host

warm welcome helpful host on-site parking
I appreciated the very warm welcome from the host who provided helpful local tips. The location worked well because it was near several attractions (the Tivoli theatre and Union Square). On-site parking was available and provided a distinct advantage. I found the host was friendly and were great.
The stairs proved to be challenging. I was on the top floor and that was tough with luggage. The window did not open so the room felt a bit cramped (I did miss fresh air).
Dining

While I did not dine on-site, I did notice that tea and coffee making facilities were present in my room, which proved convenient. This small touch allowed for a quick refreshment after a day exploring. Several dining options were available within a short walk.
