- Avg. price/night: US$98.49Scored out of 10, guest rating 6.9Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 1,375 reviewsThis place has bags of potential, it just needs some serious investment! The historic 2nd floor is very cool. Location v central and only a tad noisy on a Saturday night, but not enough to keep me up. I was nervous after reading other reviews but honestly for a budget hotel this place was fine, and large rooms. Bag storage available too.Guest review byJessicaFamily with young children
