It was very no frills. It was safe and clean and the staff was very helpful. But I could have booked a nicer hotel for the same price. The location was great

The rooms are really small, but the space is very well utilized and distributed. The beds were twin size but not a small kid size beds. We slept really well and the location of the place is fantastic. Bus stop and subway station right outside the hotel. Lots of dining options within walking distance. Nice restaurant in the lobby of hotel called Colettes. Superb food and cocktais. For the price this hotel is fantastic! I would definitely stay again.
