It’s a convenient location for a short stop along Route 1. Simple accommodation- several separate bedrooms and two shared bathrooms and a small kitchen. All in all it was a pleasant stay for a night.

Nice

The one bathroom was a little worn down and the key boxes were a little tricky, but it was perfect walking distance to places and felt nice enough for a hostel. The area in general is just a little pricey. I’d stay there again.

Easy to do the self-check in required with code and key access. Room was alright, had enough of what you needed. The room I was provided had a broken outlet (cover was falling off of the wall and the outlet itself was broken in half). Otherwise, the property was relatively clean (considering it's a hostel type situation with other people using the amenities like the bathroom).

Very dirty washrooms and over crowded. We lived in similar hostels but those are very well Maintained and sufficient washrooms. Over here, between 6 rooms (more than 12-14 people), just two washrooms. I would try to stay away from this property.

Well stocked kitchen and eating area. Comfortable and clean all around. Stayed in both the main guesthouse and the smaller one no problems with either. Bathrooms were a bit dirty when we got there hours after check in but that’s not the hosts problem (was spotless when we checked in early the second time staying)

It was definitely ok for one night. It depends on the other guests that share the accomodation, especially the bathroom and the kitchenette with you. But all in all, it was definitely ok for the cheap price.

While this property was clean, the bathrooms were not clean, and there were only 2 bathrooms for 6 rooms which housed multiple people. This was extremely inconvenient. The walls are paper thin, and we could hear everything. The hotel is in a great location, but I don’t think I’d stay there again.

I stayed in a single room with shared WC. WC shower was old and grungy, toilet tank and sink were missing parts. No toiletries as mentioned, were provided unless you were first in the shower to use the 1 ounce containers. Parts are updated but the single room looked like it was stuck in the 1980’s, random furniture. It was just ok. For the amt paid it was just ok, if not below average.
