10/10 Exceptional
When we found this place on Expedia, the location was great, they had free breakfast and the price was very reasonable. What we didn't realize when we selected the non-refundable rate was that we didn't have a bathroom in our room! Obviously, I was very worried and skeptical about our stay... a little panicky about the shared bathroom experience. But to my surprise, it wasn't a bad experience at all. I think I was worried most because I didn't know what to expect. There weren't many photos of the bathroom situation, so I wanted to add some in this review. The bathrooms were clean and not once did I encounter any issues with other guests or bathrooms not being available. The room we stayed in was just a basic room with a sink, small fridge, French press for making coffee, a steam iron and the most comfortable bed! There are plenty of plugs and USB plugs in the room. We also had an alarm clock and a sound machine with night light. There is free wifi and a TV. It's an old historical building so it's not going to look new, but they made it charming with special touches in the decor. The lobby was quaint and had a photo booth. The free breakfast was in a little lounge on the second floor with a self-serve, Continental breakfast. Muffins, cinnamon rolls, cereals, fruit, coffee and tea. Perfect for a small bite to eat before heading out. Truth be told I was ready to hate this place after finding out about the shared bathroom for the unit we paid for, but I was very happy with our stay. The only negative would probably be the parking situation. We had to park a couple of blocks away in the Brewery Blocks subterranean parking. Other than that, everything else was great.
