Location was a short 10 minute walk via a lengthy pedestrian walk thru. Lots of restaurants and shops along the way. Transportation is right outside of hotel. Staff is friendly, especially housekeeping.

Ken

An old apartment building converted into a hotel, the furniture and fixtures feel like they haven't been updated since the 1970s. There grimy roughness befits this tough city - a post-industrial wasteland (think Bridgeport, CT).

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The property is very clean inside but the building itself and the lobby area could use a facelift. It looks rundown from the street. Since it is at a busy intersection in the city, it is not possible to keep the windows open at night. They did provide a fan which was so appreciated and necessary, but having air conditioning and black out shades would help tremendously since we stayed in the summer and it was hot.

Liebe zum Detail
Es waren nur zwei Nächte, aber das Hotel hat ein sehr gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis mit Liebe zum Detail. Kleine Sachen die zeigen das die Mitarbeiter ihre Gäste schätzen. Das Zimmer war groß und sehr ruhig. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Eenvoudig, maar goed
Heel gunstig gelegen hotel. Een schoon en goed onderhouden hotel. Vriendelijke ontvangst; ruime kamer. De bedden waren goed. Prima badkamer. Het ontbijt is voldoende uitgebreid. De auto kon bij het hotel worden geparkeerd. Echt waar voor je geld!
