Okay....okay normal hotel. No water service, the hotel needs u to pay even for water at very high prices. Water is the basic necessities of life & for that as well they charge you extremely heavy then or ask you to go out and buy water. Rooms are like pretty small & conjusted. No sofa to sit. Just a room & bed to slp.

This place has a lot of charm, the room was small but still quite cozy. I'm an insanely light sleeper (I usually wear earplugs at home) but the noise was not only minimal but easily manageable with my usual gentle ear plugs. Vending machine at front appears to be managed by the property rather than one of the local vending companies so the prices are lower than most. While I was there they even had a toothpaste and 2 toothbrushes bundle for 6 CAD if you forgot yours which was a nice touch.

Very friendly staff and comfortable bed. A decent hotel for what the nightly rate is. But there was no soundproofing around room door (wide open gaps) with tile hallways outside the door. Every sound from outside the room was heard within the room from early in the morning until late at night.
