Practically rather central!
Pros:

The friendly staff. The large room. The localisation. The cool old atmosphere.

Cons:

The lack of real breakfast, just donuts! The lack of real TV , just connection to your devices. The noise from the street.

Je ne reviendrai jamais
Pros:

Le personnel est adorable et l’emplacement est top, permettant de tout visiter à pieds

Cons:

Le manque sérieux d’entretien du bâtiment et des équipements (moisissures, peinture écaillée au sol, meubles cassés, …) et surtout le ménage laisse clairement à désirer (fourmis mortes sur les draps, cheveux sur et dans les draps, cheveux et poils dans la douche et au sol

Pros:

Location, donuts

Cons:

Rooms are in need of repairs, I know it is retro, but needs upgrades. I would not stay here again. Toilet seat was broken and blinds were filthy.

Cons:

It’s very noisy due to the road, the rooms are very old, there’s dust and mold. The room doesn’t have complete light insulation. The price is very high for such low quality

Very quirky and comfortable stay.
Pros:

The place is very retro in style. The Moon Pies on the pillow and the RC Colas on the nightstands were a really cute touch. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The retro style does need some upgrading. The bathroom grout could use some work and the shower head could use a good cleaning soak. The room was very clean despite these things.

Excelente calidad precio y trato inmejorable. Instalaciones un poco anticuadas
Pros:

La amabilidad del personal y el desayuno. Tienen muchos detalles con los invitados y eso es de agradecer además de cosas como las palomitas que no probamos pero se agradecen.
La ubicación es genial

Cons:

Entraba demasiada luz en la habitación, así como ruido. Las sábanas estaban manchadas y había manchas en la habitación. No obstante yo creo que con el excelente trato se compensa
