FANTASTIC stay!

cute roomlovely windowmany outletsgreat shower
I stayed in a single room, and it WAS very cute! The window looked out onto the street. There were LOTS of nice touches, like outlets and a coffee and tea maker. The shower WAS great.
The breakfast was not the BEST. The cooked breakfast seemed quite greasy. I still ate it THOUGH.

The location was excellent, very close to the subway! The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really lovely. The rooms were comfortable and clean.
The pillows smelt awful I couldn't grasp what it was. They smelt like old stale cheesy socks, I asked for replacements though they smelt the same.
