the staff proved so friendly. the landlady quickly upgraded my room to the ground floor upon seeing my walking difficulties, which i appreciated SO much. ALL the staff were courteous and cute.

Acceptable Stay with Some Drawbacks
shower control flaking paint
The shower control detached easily in my hand. The bathroom clearly needed refurbishment. Some paint on the bedroom ceiling was flaking. A fresh coat would improve the space. Noise from the adjacent bar was noticeable.
