I picked this place because all the reviews say it's a good, central location, and it WAS. Perfect for taking public transit and walking, and there's local groceries and a pharmacy for any random supplies you might need right across or down the street. Heater provided in the room kept it toasty in November. Really glad for the on-site laundry and being able to re-use our clothes since we had a longer stay. The free breakfast vouchers for the cafe downstairs are also a great deal.
Rams itself is kept clean but it's true that the surrounding neighborhood is pretty run down. Watch out if you're sensitive to the smell of trash. Be kind, don't bother anyone. It's noisy day and night but if you close the windows it filters out a lot of it; I personally didn't have trouble sleeping.
Staff is chill, responsive and courteous. Overall it's nothing luxurious, but comfortable enough and incredibly convenient for an affordable price. Really appreciated it.
