I wanted to try something different but it didn’t work for us. However, the staff was very helpful and nice. We checked out early because this location was clearly for the younger generation. It was a bit too compacted for us.

Really great location and cool modern property. Was very clean and would definitely stay here again for a short visit. The only thing that was a surprise were the bathrooms; they’re a tad rustic (really small, surrounded by a plywood structure, no mirrors) so it’s kind of like a “glamping” experience in that sense. There are no full length mirrors in the space, but the beds are really comfortable. Great for a budget stay!
