"right in middle of downtown convenient location, very clean washroom. we only needed to use kitchen for a quick breakfast, but there is no sink (for water) or garbage bin. The bar downstairs had music on until after midnight."

Acco Luxury Apartments

8/10 Good

"Clear sign on how to access the property. Spacious apartment. It’s stairs only so be mindful of that when you make your booking"

Torg Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the hotel except there's no staff there to help you. You have to communicate the entire time online. No parking onsite and you have to park in a public lot a few blocks away. It wasn't too bad but slightly inconvenient. The only thing I would strongly suggest is to provide better sun blocking curtains. During the summer the sun and their street lights are not good to get sleep. Please provide better darkening curtains or shade. The location was exceptional though and would definitely stay again."
