LOVED the Haymarket Location!

great locationfriendly stafflow floorhard bed
I found the location SUPER convenient. It was easy to hop on a bus right outside the door to get downtown. The friendly staff really made a difference for ME. They gave me a room on a low floor like I asked!
My bed and pillows felt HARD. It was like sleeping on a board. I hope they can change this.

mixed experience at the hotel

cooking odorsrushed housekeeping
The room reeked of cooking odors upon arrival. this smell permeated everything and was quite unpleasant. also, housekeeping seemed rushed. I found hairs on the bathroom floor. it appears they need to focus on a deeper clean or allow more time per room (maybe they are short staffed?).
