So, chose the Kestrel for its location close to City Center and other attractions in the area. The room's open space design and its minimalist furnishings was not necessarily to my liking, but it was comfortable, clean and appointed with all the necessities for a longer stay. The building itself is secured with an entry system that requires a personal code to enter and it felt safe. There are several restaurants/cafes nearby that offered good food and atmosphere. I would recommend the Kestrel to anyone looking for accommodations near the city's landmarks and a variety of eating establishments.

The room was so much more spacious than we expected. It was clean and quiet and the hosts provided some nice staples for their guests. Getting in and out was very easy because of the stellar communication, and we had a very easy walk to the venue we werw going to, as advertised. Very happy with our stay, thank you!

Krestel Hotel is a good deal

The Krestel Hotel is actually more like an Air B&B. Communication with owner was very good, responsive. The room was fairly spartan. There are minimal furnishings, no tv, but the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Had a wonderful sleep. The bathroom was spacious with a great shower. The kitchette was new and well appointed. The location was in an out of the way neighborhood but close to subway, suburban trains, great coffee shop and a couple of bars and restaurants . The price was right and if you need a comfortable place to sleep, close to town, i would definitely recommend
