    comfortable bed
    clean facilities

    The bed was comfortable, definitely the best we encountered on our trip. The bathroom was big and sparkling clean, and the shower felt super inviting. Plus, it's just a short walk to downtown, a big plus for exploring!

    100% recommend

    historic charm
    cozy atmosphere
    art display
    tight parking
    thin walls

    Plenty of character with beautiful art on display. Parking tight, and walls a bit thin, so I heard neighbors. Cozy atmosphere with comfy beds. Short walk to great local eateries.

    quiet neighborhood
    comfortable bedding

    would definitely go back

    Located in a quiet neighborhood, but a max 30-minute walk to everything fun. The standard king room was super spacious with comfortable bedding and fresh linens. Loved the modern decor and the split heating system, no noisy fan. They even had healthy instant coffee! Tons of nearby restaurant info provided too!

    coffee shop
    natural light
    convenient location
    parking issue
    noise from neighbors

    I enjoyed grabbing coffee from a shop run by Jocelyne Kamikazi, where the coffee is sourced directly from Burundi. The large windows in my room let in natural light. I also appreciated how convenient it was to explore nearby bakeries and bars without needing to drive anywhere.

    The parking situation was tight, and I found some noise coming from neighboring rooms. I would have liked more privacy at night.

    comfortable beds
    friendly staff
    limited storage

    We had a nice family stay with my boyfriend! The nearby stadium added excitement, with local teams playing. The cozy beds felt luxurious after busy days, and the staff was always eager to assist us with our needs.

    In my kids' opinion, more storage space would be great.

    automated texts
    value for money

    The automated texts made it easy to manage parking. Make sure you locate the parking lot ahead of time as it's not well marked.
