I knew it was going to be small, with no ensuite, possible loud street noise, and a vicious set of stairs, so I came mentally prepared. And while these things were true, it really wasn't bad. (Though if you havve *any* mobility issues, pick some where else.) The street noise wasn't that bad, I even kept my window open all night (which did let in some smoke, as I was above the doorway). The staff was just so sweet, at check-in, breakfast (even though I slept in terribly), and at checkout. Location is grand, and bed was pretty comfy. Would absolutely stay again on a short trip!
