8/10 Very good

The room was spacious, and the shower had great water pressure. It was a little noisy, as we were right above the bar, which featured live music--might have been quieter on a higher floor. Parking garage is a couple of blocks away, and the hotel provides a discount, although garages were nearly full when we arrived mid-week. Staff were friendly and check-in was smooth. Super location, just around the corner from the Latin Quarter.

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location in Eyre Square! We enjoyed sitting out the front of the pub with a Guinness and watching the world go by. We had a twin room which was spacious and had great a/c. The room was really well thought out. E.g the shower taps are not under the shower head (you can turn it on without getting a wet arm!) and there is a clear sign to find the hair dryer!! Friendly staff. Great pub with music downstairs. (You can hear the music in the room as they above the pub, but we just drank enough to not hear it!!)

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely spacious room. Very comfortable bed! The shower was fantastic. There was plenty of bathroom space to put your "stuff". Breakfast was good. Our only issue was that there was no airflow in the room. I understand no A/C, given the climate. But a fan would help to move the air.
