"The rooms were clean The bathrooms were also pretty clean. The front desk staff was absolutely phenomenal! They were incredibly helpful, friendly and informative! Keep in mind it is a hostel, where you are sharing the bathrooms with other people, but for what it is and the price, it was great. Right now we're staying down the street at a much nicer hotel but the front desk staff does not even compare to how wonderful they were at Kick Ass. In fact, I'm probably going to go in there tomorrow...

"One of the most beautiful hotels we have experienced with a highly professional staff. We were greeted warmly, our room was upgraded and we were given drink tokens to help celebrate our anniversary. Excellent location. Sadly, we only had one night. Highly recommend."
