The room I had was perfect size for myself. However, the water pressure in the shower was extremely low and the water was so hot. I found it was very noisy as it is next to the street. I could hear people talking and cars running on the streeting at night. It was in a good location though. 2 blocks to train station next to Tuff medical center.

Interesting old hotel. Great location. While clean and comfortable, was disappointing to not be able to walk around the end of the bed to get to the window in our room. Also bathroom sink was small and shelf above it made it difficult to wash face/brush teeth without hitting my head.
