I stayed in room 8 which is an outside studio. The unit is VERY basic. It is located down a dark alley/passageway which is not locked from the street side, so if you are a solo female traveler, you may want to reconsider since there is a ‘hiding place’ at the end of the tunnel/alley. I did not feel safe in this after dark since the second gate at the far end to the street (which does have a lock) is quite fiddly and requires two hands. The unit has a washer/dryer but no detergent was provided. There is a LOT of furniture in the room, and the kitchen is stocked with plates, silverware, sets of 4 glasses which haven’t been replaced resulting in sets of 3 wineglasses, etc., but there is no salt, pepper, paper towel, or oil. These are basic supplies that I’ve found in every other accommodation with a kitchen that I’ve rented short term over the past ten years. The bed has a VERY firm mattress and the pillows are incredibly hard. It’s not a comfortable night’s sleep! The bathroom shower takes a long time to drain and will alternately scald and freeze. The bathroom itself lacks a couple of face cloths but is clean. It’s a good location for the train station and for the town center (12mins to RSC by foot), but honestly, for this price you’d be better off paying $20 extra and staying at an actual hotel in the town center, or even the Hilton opposite. I cut short my stay here because as a woman traveling alone, I did not feel safe and my back ached all day after sleeping in that bed.
