equipped kitchen upstairs bedroom bascule bridge

The room featured a fully equipped kitchen. It had a cozy upstairs bedroom loft. I saw the bay and a bascule bridge from my window.

The hotel lacks dedicated guest parking. Public parking is required.

a few minor issues

convenient location helpful staff drip coffee hot water nasal congestion high noise

The location was convenient. Many restaurants are located nearby. The staff was helpful. The room was quite large (it felt more like a small apartment). A machine for making drip coffee was also available.

The water system seemed to have some issues. I noticed that hot water was not always available. the room felt very dry. This dryness worsened my nasal congestion. The noise level was quite high.

lovely staff accommodating staff poor sound proofing normal conversation

The staff were lovely. They were very accommodating and someone was at the desk even before 7am.

There was virtually no sound proofing between the walls. I clearly heard normal conversations from the rooms on both sides. This made it hard to relax.
