Overall was a good stay for the price point and location. Room was superficially cleaned and small but comfortable. It felt like the bedroom and bathroom could have used a deeper clean. Check in and check out instructions were clear, host was helpful and communicated promptly, and the location was super convenient and nice!

If you want 0 privacy, and you enjoy sharing a tiny place (and 1 bathroom) with noisy people, this is the place for you! If not, JUST LOOK FOR A REGULAR HOTEL, in which prices are similar to this…

The staff was very helpful upon arrival and were there to assist as needed. The dormitory was clean and well maintained, with staff coming in daily to refresh linens and do laundry. I had a chance to chat with the manager of the hostile and he was very friendly and approachable. I was impressed with how respectful the other guests in the dorm were and would go back to STAY if I'm ever back in the area.

The live in staff needs some extreme customer service in in a personal interaction training. There is a tall white guy that lives on site and he is extremely disrespectful, and need towards the guest. We asked customer spend hours money in the hopes that experience would be a great one. And I’m also hoping that it’s not about my race for the reason this man decided to be very rude and ignorant towards me this morning.
