Right across the street from Waverly Station. Beautiful views of Old Town during breakfast. The room was small, but cozy and had everything we needed. Great hotel for the price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s very convenient to Waverley and the bus station, which was very helpful, but there was construction on a building literally right out my window. Even with a sound machine, it was very noisy starting very early (often before 7 am) and ending at least 9 or later. Great location to many things in the city.
