For a night it worked well. No frills but free parking, clean, safe and close to city sights.

4/10 Fair

Yuk. Only stay if you have to.

Very shabby. Missing smoke detector. Hair in the tub. Dirty fingerprints on bathroom wall. Room number was a piece of paper taped to the door. View was a storage container. I left at 5:00 AM by choice. Paint job and caulking in the bathroom looked like it was done by a five year old. Tub stained Gross.
Nathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Upon check in, at 3am, the staff said a room number out loud. I did not think about it at the time due to being exhusuted from a long travel day, however, as a single young woman traveling clearly alone, that was scary to think someone could have heard my room number. At 5 am, I was woken up by someone trying to open my door, and when I went to check the peep hole, the peep hole did not operate as it should. I have no visibility. When I checked it before checking out in the morning, nothing was blocking it and was just not a funtioning one. The rooms were large but it's clear the shower and tubs were not well cleaned over the years. I would not stay here again.

Bra läge, rymliga rum två matställen precis bredvid som har öppet länge och för frukost samt promenadavstånd till ett jättemysigt bryggeri och resturangställe.
