    wonderful strolls near beautiful parks and local landmarks

    I found this place absolutely fantastic with friendly staff who made my extended stay feel like home, and it’s just a few steps from Grant Park, ideal for leisurely walks. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the easy access to attractions like Sueno's Stone, making it a perfect base for exploring the town.

    comfy bed
    modern bathroom
    cozy bar
    drafty door

    Had a lovely night with a comfy bed and a modern bathroom that made my stay feel special. I really enjoyed the quiet environment and the chance to unwind with a pint in the cozy bar area. A minor letdown was the draft coming through the door, but for the price and comfort, I’d absolutely recommend this place! 🍻

    Great stay with fantastic service

    I was here for a while on business and felt super welcome! The staff went out of their way to help with whatever I needed. Meals were spot on, especially the bar food. The only thing was that the room was a bit smaller than I’d hoped for. it felt like home here.

    smart tv
    clean room
    affordable price
    poor insulation

    The Budget Twin Room offers a smart TV, which is a solid addition for downtime. Surprisingly, the price at £50 for a night feels like a steal, especially given its cleanliness and modernized touches that definitely elevate the experience.

    The room was pretty barebones with basic furniture, mostly cheap pine that looked a bit worn out. Accessing the room directly from outside meant it was drafty and cold—poor insulation doesn't help, especially in the colder seasons. The absence of places to hang towels in the bathroom was annoying, even though I found some shelf space. WiFi barely had a pulse, making it frustrating to stay connected, though the phone signal was decent. Lack of breakfast options was a letdown, pushing me to find food elsewhere right after checking in.

    Our stay was enjoyable, particularly because of the incredibly comfortable beds that made for a restful sleep. The attentive and friendly staff made us feel welcome and catered to our needs, especially during dinner, which was delicious and well-prepared. the lack of breakfast options was a bit inconvenient, and the WiFi connection could be improved.

    Charming stay with great vibes

    Had a nice 1 night here with friends. The room was clean and cozy, but def needs some updates. The bar was super chill with friendly staff. We enjoyed dinner, although the food could've been better. And a bummer that we didn't get our room serviced daily. Still, great for the price!
