Good but no frills
Simple stay with no frills. Stayed 2 nights and 1st night shared a bathroom. It was quiet. Room was warm as there is no AC. Fan available though. Ok when nothing else was available during holiday weekend. Just glad to find something.

In a safe area of the city; and quiet too! Lots of wildlife like bunnies and deer and I even saw an owl! If you’re a single traveller wanting to explore the island, these hotel rooms will work for you. The communal kitchen area is an excellent place to cook your own meals and safe money eating out. Some might find shared bathrooms a little different; but you get used to it pretty fast. I’ll be back next year!

It is a great location, super quiet, loved the bunnies (i know they are all over). I booked it because i was on my own while my kids were camping with family elsewhere on the island and i still had to work. The room and bathroom was clean, as was the stocked kitchen. The living area was comfortable and quiet for me to get work done. I fully recommend staying here as a solo traveler as a great budget option.

Front desk staff were delightful and super helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The washroom is shared with only another room. If you can, choose 1st or 2nd floor room, otherwise 3rd floor runs the risk of hearing the HVAC constantly hum.
