The room was clean and nice. Location is by some good restaurants. Check in was easy and quick.

Eveline Finland

The staff was very nice and helpful. we got a big room with both a common room and a bedroom, there was plenty of towels and a pretty big refrigerator and a safe box. Union station was a little less than a 20 minute walk from the hotel which was great and meant there was no need for a car whilst staying here. The hotel offered washing and drying machine for a cheap price which was appreciated! Also the shared bathrooms were surprisingly clean and sanitary, there was one for women, one for men and even one “private” with shower and toilet that you could lock! Overall a very price worthy hotel if you don’t mind shared bathrooms!
