The location is extremely good and convenient for going anywhere. The staff are very nice. The room is very clean. Just one thing. The room is not soundproof, so I was always woken up by the people walking or talking in the next room at night. The noise from the street outside the window is also very loud. People with poor sleep quality should be cautious when choosing this place.

The location is great! The 3 person room with kitchenette shared a bathroom with another room. The room was clean. The staff was great at both check-in and out. We stayed in their 2nd building at 34 Cockburn. Be aware the doorway is very narrow and heavy.
