The room was really nice, we were able to upgrade so we had enough beds for everyone. The front desk was amazing, super helpful and kind! Kevwin was who we primarily worked with and was fantastic! We needed to be at MIT early and was a great a location. The only downside was the people next to us were loud, and the walls seemed thin. Other than great place!
