Staff very nice.
The only thing is to make sure you request a bottom bunk & if you are uncomfortable with sharing a room with men be specific.
The staff was great and moved me to a double room with a single woman.
Otherwise it's a great for the price.
Everything about the 11 St, Duo Dorms was clean and had a comfortability about it. The chill areas with company laptops was accessible.Anf the morning breakfast and lunch are excellent.
.
It's a hostile. Check in wasn't clear but eventually got in and settled. Pancakes in the morning were a welcomed bonus. Recommend shower shoes for walking around as they have a no shoes rule

The bed was so-so, but the staff were friendly and available anytime.
The breakfast was simply pancakes and coffee/lemonade.
However, the location was superb.
This was such a great experience! My roommate was really interesting to the point where I think we will be friends going forward. The staff was very helpful and did everything to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. For anyone looking for a safe, lively place to stay that's near everything, I highly recommend Duo Housing!
Stayed in October for business travel. Purchased the smaller bunk room option. Only one other business traveler was in bunk room. Quiet, clean and would recommend.
