We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Backroom very much. We were right in the neighborhood of Jordann as it was described. The room was big and comfortable compared to some very small hotel rooms we just came from in Belgium. We did not get a chance to meet Shawna, but the woman who was the host at the time greated us and was very helpful.
The only feedback I would give future guests is that because of the atrium roof, the room never gets completely dark from the city lights around it. So if you have trouble sleeping with some light in the room I would caution. It rained quite a bit while we were there and the rain on the roof did keep me up a bit. But again the room was very comfortable. I would recommend it. We bought a few groceries from a nearby store and coffee cups that we used to make coffee in the morning. We took the tram from Central Station and the directions given by Shawna were great and easy to get to. Thanks for all.
