Very reasonable cost for a comfortable stay, but may not suit others used to luxury accommodation. Would be great to see the hotel restored to former glory.

An opportunity to go back in time if you love old buildings. Rare to find original building like this. I totally enjoyed my visit.

星一つもつけたくないです。 バスルームの扉は取っ手が取れていて開け閉めできません。シャワーに電気がなくて暗闇でシャワーを浴びることになります。シャワーヘッドもテープで修理してあって、水が噴水のように出ます。 窓は閉められないので開けたままです。虫が入ってくるし、夜はとても寒いし、横に高速道路と鉄道が走っているのでとてもうるさいです。 幸い、タオル類と枕カバー、掛けるシーツ？は綺麗です。毛布には穴が空いていました。マットレスは板のように薄いです。 壁も薄く、他の宿泊客の声が丸聞こえです。 500年前のホテルの廃墟のようでした。心細く不安になりましたが、トイレットペーパーとウェルカムドリンクは、よく見るものなので安心しました。しかし、ウェルカムドリンクのボードは汚く、ティーバッグなどは埃をかぶっていたので手がつけられませんでした。 普段はチェックアウトぎりぎりまで滞在しますが、早く出ていきたくて仕方なかったです。 翌朝気づきましたが、ベッド横に自殺防止の電話番号の張り紙がありました。 これで$70はあまりにも高すぎます。たとえお金をもらっても泊まりたくないほどです。 二度と泊まらないし、誰にもおすすめできないです。

I stayed for a night and was just looking for a bed for the night which was just as well as the hotel offers nothing else. It is certainly showing its age and is rather rundown but clean. The staff member was friendly enough and welcoming and the location was convenient but you need to be aware the NIMT rail is straight across the road. The hotel is situated on a corner and it is quite a major intersection so there are plenty of trucks passing in the night. However I didn't mind as I lived near train tracks before. You have to dine elsewhere.The reception was unmanned arriving and leaving. Having said all that it was ok and I would stay again there

I strongly recommend reading the properties website before booking - they are awesome and very accurate in their description of what the property is and isn't. We stayed for 3 nights over long weekend - arriving after 3am in morning (pre arranged). The property was super helpful and flexible and made the process of getting into our room at that time simple and easy. Apart from a quick, friendly conversation on the first morning with one of the cleaners we actually had no face to face interactions with the team over the whole stay - including checking out on the final day. If you want a quiet, basic room at a great price - this is a great option. If you want heaps of extras, a 5 star experience from staff or the latest mod cons - you probably need to look elsewhere. I would definitely stay here again if in similar circumstances.

The room we had was very nice especially for the price, it’s mostly the decoration from outside but for a night or two it’s absolutely fine! Only problem we had : no power on the plug to be able to charge our phones for all the night. Otherwise, the staff is super nice and welcoming I really appreciate it!
