1. The shower/toilet was tiny but I liked that the vanity and sink are in a separate area.

"Not as nice as other Kimpron's, but still fine and STELLAR customer service. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/25/2012 Vote

2. The room with the toilet and shower is very small -- not a lot of room to move around -- but presumably if you're using the toilet or shower, you don't need room to lay on the floor or do jumping jacks.

"Top Notch Service and Rooms! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/29/2011 Vote

3. A couple of quibbles: the TV offerings were primitive -- no Comedy Central, for example, and only an analogue signal for the local PBS station that made it too fuzzy to watch; the toilet/shower room was way too cramped; breakfast at the adjoining Firefly restaurant was overpriced (walk two blocks to the Luna Grill and Diner on Connecticut).

4. Then behind a door is your toilet/shower (pretty cramped).

5. The drain did not adequately do its job and it seemed that the shower/bathtub was incorrectly installed as the floor was loose and rose and fell with each foot fall.

"Good service, bad room. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/11/2010 Vote

6. The bathroom (toilet and shower/tub) was very small and outdated.

"Perfect Location, Good Value " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/1/2010 Vote

7. My only complaints would be the beds (not as comfortable as I would have expected - mattresses seemed a little cheap), the shower (very small), and the lobby (also small).

"Very nice stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/18/2009 Vote

8. Now for the less-than-perfect aspects of our stay: -- As many people have mentioned, the shower/toilet room was indeed small, but it's fine if you're not extremely overweight.

"Great little hotel in a safe, quiet neighborhood " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/18/2009 Vote

9. The room was strangely laid out, with low, 'popcorn' ceilings and an extremely small room housing the toilet and tub/shower combination--this space was so small it was actually difficult to sit on the toilet.

10. Finally, the bathroom where the toilet and shower are located is extremely small; thank god they have a nice spacious vanity area to get ready.
