Pros:

Sehr zentrale Unterkunft, check in funktionierte ohne Probleme und genügend öffentliche Parkplätze in der Umgebung.

Cons:

Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig, das hat und nicht gestört, da wir sowieso nur zum schlafen da waren. Sollte man aber wissen, wenn man früh schlafen gehen möchte :)

Teuer, erfüllte aber seinen Zweck.
Pros:

Nähe zum Bahnhof / Zentrum, Bad und Zimmer waren sauber.

Cons:

Die Beleuchtung im Zimmer war teilweise defekt, die Kosten recht hoch, einzelne Platten im Bad haben sich bereits gelöst, allgemein war der Zustand eher mässig. Das Waschbecken sieht vielleicht schön aus, ist aber super unpraktisch. Der Automat vor der Tür war kaputt, bzw. hat keine Karten mehr für den Self CheckIn

All in all The Yard served it's purpose which was a crash site in between two travel days.
Pros:

That is was a nice room for the money. It was clean and cozy. One of the lights in the bathroom wasn't functioning and there were exposed wires coming out of the ceiling.

Cons:

That this isn't really a hotel but just 5 rooms on the first floor of an apartment building with a Chinese restaurant attached to it. There is no staff, no reception desk, no facilities and just a kiosk down an alley way that you used to check in. Travelers beware, if you don't have your booking/reservation# with you, you will not be able to check in and allow the kiosk to dispense your room's key card. Luckily we print out all our travel reservations so we had our booking/reservation# handy.
