Beautiful guest house
Check in was a breeze as was parking. We arrived after hours, everything went so smoothly and was just as instructed via email Our ensuite room was spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. The location was excellent for our purpose, and very quiet. The Alison is a beautiful building. Only negatives were nowhere to hang towels in the ensuite, no hand towel provided.

The room was small but suited my purposes. Great location. I stayed 3 nights & while the shared bathroom was between approximately 6 people I believe I never once had to wait to use it & it was always stocked & clean. Great set up!

Location great. Needs proper housekeeping services they didn't fix bed properly and cups were still dirty. Is not that cheap considering you have to share a bathroom. Shared kitchen is convenient with coin operated laundry facilities also. $7 surcharge if you pay through hotel keep in mind which should be stated before paying.

Great location room clean upon check in. However housekeeping only tidied up very roughly. Bed wasn't made properly, cups weren't clean. Dirty towels weren't removed and we had to ask for more bath matts. Hotel charged $7 surcharge which wasn't mentioned to me when taking out funds over phone.

Only issue was that the remote control was a bit old and the TV so was hard to change channels. Plus sadly the lamp stopped working on the first night. Apart from that, enjoyed my stay.
