My stay at The Urban Newtown was filled with ups and downs. While the funky decor and friendly staff made for a pleasant atmosphere, an unfortunate mix-up with my booking created a frustrating experience. I loved the vibrant neighborhood, but my overall experience was marred by the complications during check-in. I'd be hesitant to return without knowing these issues have been resolved. 😔
