This a place that is trying to get the Brighton area up and revived. The area could be amazing . I hope some investors come revitalize this area so that small business owners can thrive. Bedroom was clean, and Bed was comfortable kitchen and bathrooms. Look to be newly remodeled the rest of the area as in communal areas are a bit outdated.

Room clean, however no air conditioning in the room. We didnt use the kitchen. Found it was unhealthy to use due to food and dishes left not washed or tables etc not wiped down.!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was a little too warm and stuffy, and there was a weird smell. There were also some stains on the towels. The shared bathroom setup was nice, although it could have used a little extra cleaning. Good option if you’re on a budget, but we ended up going elsewhere as we were starting to get sick and needed air conditioning/ air flow.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
廁所, 沖涼格不足以滿足整個住宿，整體殘舊 住宿所在的區域治安不太好，晚上街上像死城 停泊在旅館的所有車輛同一晚上被打爆玻璃窗，而旅館竟然說Cctv沒有在錄影 男職員對此冷漠，並沒有幫助各旅客 特別在此感謝女職員提供吸塵機以協助清除玻璃碎片
