The hotel had mixed ups and downs. The rooms didn't match the photos but had a clean and updated bathroom, even though there was an issue with the towels. Each room had its own bathroom. The service was questionable, especially after the manager checked the room and charged my credit card without notice. The location had its positives being close to a station and secure for solo travelers, but there were concerns about the neighborhood. The dining was included and offered healthy salads. Overall, the hotel had its flaws but also some redeeming qualities.

The hotel provided cozy rooms with essential amenities like a fridge, microwave, and ironing board. While the bed was comfy and the walk-in wardrobe convenient, the room had a lingering smell that made extended stays uncomfortable. The service was a mix of challenging communication and friendly, helpful interactions. The location, though close to the Market district, had some safety concerns due to the presence of aggressive homeless individuals. The dining experience included homemade ice cream and other meals. Despite its drawbacks, the hotel offered a unique 1940s setting with specific rules for guests.
