“The location adjacent to the bus station is a definite advantage for navigating the city, complemented by nearby convenience stores and a well-equipped kitchen. The management appears very responsive, and recent bedding upgrades enhance comfort. While a very recent report mentioned some concerns about floor squeaks and an 'odd vibe', that seems at odds with reports of extended stays and positive experiences from other guests.”
