Great for a one night stay. Walked from the station and walked to the Capitol. Clean room. Bed was fairly comfy. Bathroom was clean. Happy hour and breakfast was good value. Would stay again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room looks nothing like the pictures. It’s much older and not renovated. If you don’t mind the shower going from scalding hot to ice cold every 20 seconds then it might have gone up another 1-2 stars. The room was the size of a shoe box for 2 people in a double twin room where we had to step over each others things/taking turns walking around. The location is the only perk as it’s right across from Haymarket and Central station. Will look elsewhere in the future

The shower was not working well. It was the weakest shower that I had in hotels. It was not hot enough either. Tha is why I am giving this low score. Other conditions were good.
