Strong unpleasant smell in the room

We planned to stay a total of 3 nights but decided to switch to a different hotel for the last two. Not sure why (maybe from the wood on the ceiling) but there was a strong unpleasant smell in the room. We chose the place because it included free parking but we’ll not return in the future.

Amenities are very good -- large screen cable tv, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker. Many electrical outlets for your rechargers. Hot water is very hot and there's a lot of it. Front desk provided free soap, shampoo, and coffee for the coffee maker. Hotel is right on the main bus line, the 51B. Also near a major shopping area on 4th Street. Wall heater was malfunctioning and upon being informed, they replaced it with a new one immediately. Excellent experience in every way.

The room was very nice as was free parking. It's a bit noisy as others come in at night and I tried to get more coffee in the morning and no one answered the phone or came to the door.

Coming back!

Surprisingly comfortable mom & pop, no frills but totally comfortable overnight spot. 5m walk to the variety of shops and restaurants of Fourth Street. Clean, affordable, great location, off street parking and a friendly cat tha greets you! Would absolutely stay again.

Polite and professional staff. Clean rooms. Quiet heat. Good location for me. Good value for the price. Always satisfied staying here. The only downside are the trains that pass by after dark but before midnight. I find them kind of soothing, not bothersome. Cheers.
