Great location in Newtown
Great location, rebuilt office structure. No washcloths, AC unit was a little old and struggled. It rained a couple of times, rather hard, the design of the hotel allows water to get inside the breezeways near the rooms, bit flooded but not terribly so.
The price is a bit higher than the general area but many of the places here are hostels, this was a proper hotel.
