Wonderful, friendly staff! Great location - close to a great park, excellent breakfast nearby for pancakes, near public transportation, close to museums, short walk to the canal, etc. The rooms were small and not modern at all, and our shower left quite a wet spot on the bathroom floor. However, we did not mind this, rather I mention this to travelers seeking modern amenities. There was a cat that lived in the lobby (I think his name was "Percy"). We loved that there was a house cat in this hotel. Would stay here again because the staff was amazing and there's a cat!
