You can barely sleep, besides the small size of the rooms and bathrooms, there is constant noise in the hallways and slamming of doors. Toilets don’t flush properly. Bathrooms are too small. Spend the extra money and stay elsewhere.

From the moment I got there, the staff was friendly and welcoming. I was lucky enough to get an early check-in, which was a nice surprise since I was up early and needed to rest. The room was clean, nice and comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean every time.
