I really like the location — it’s excellent and close to everything! There are so many great restaurants in the area. However, my experience was disappointing overall. I paid for a private room, but the bed was very uncomfortable and there was too much noise. The bathroom exhaust fan didn’t work either, which made things worse. The receptionist wasn’t friendly at all, acting more like a robot with no personality. With such a great location, I expected a much better stay.

The room was sooo clean! I also loved how secure it was. You need a key card to get into the building as well as to the elevator area. And if you arrive before check in or have a later flight in the day they have lockers you can use for your luggage. The staff was super friendly! We will definitely stay again !

Single?? On a budget? Want an excellent location? Book it! I knew I wanted to visit somewhere for my birthday. Being single, you tend to be a bit cautious traveling alone. Then I came upon this property. What drew me were the excellent reviews, so I booked it. IT DID NOT disappointment! I booked the women 4 bunk suite. Got there Friday night at 8pm, walked in the room and really could not tell if anyone was there(curtains drawn). It was super quite clean and AC was in full affect! A perk was our bathroom was directly in front of our door and our room was the only one on that corner. When I say I only saw one woman there, bottom of my bunk, we spoke briefly, that was it. Saw no shady guest. Never felt uncomfortable. The location was Perfect! I bought tickets for a comedy show, didn't realize it was literally on the next block! Everything was within walking distance! The staff were great too. I didn't get her name but she worked the evening shift long curly hair, black female...she gave me good pointers for restaurants. I give this place a 9.5 out of 10 ONLY because I was assigned the top bulk (last person to check in) .

Room was nice. I liked that the toilet and shower were in one cubicle and u didnt have to share with heaps of people.. It was just for one person and private. The washing machinen could be upgraded as it doesnt spin the clothes property and they are always wet. And the dryer took 2hrs to dry the clothes. Time for new one
