The location was AMAZING!!! just minutes from the train station, so convenient. bunk beds were comfortable. I slept soundly each night. the shower was really good, a rainfall showerhead, it seemed like a spa.
The room was small. Slightly more space would have been useful.

The location was GREAT. It was right in the city center. The bathroom looked recently installed, so it was clean. The manager Chad was available 24hr. When I called, he answered right away to HELP me.
There was no tv, though it was advertised. All three dispensers were EMPTY. They should have contained soap, shower gel, and shampoo. The price seemed TOO high for such basic accommodation.
