The room was clean, beds were surprisingly comfy. The hotel doesn't have air conditioning but they had a fan in each room and the windows opened. We stayed in May so it wasn't hot in the room at all. Overall a great stay for the price

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The parking was free and easily accessible, the room was larger than I expected, clean and with big window so a lot of sunlight. It was very quiet at night, the bathrooms were easily available. My only complaint is there was no A/C so I had to sleep with the windows opened because the room got very hot in the afternoon. Overall, well worth the price

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was great. I especially loved that they came equipped with a sink. I found the mattress challenging to have a good nights rest, but they provided me with an extra pillow for added comfort. The dorm itself was more spacious than I thought with plenty of storage and drawers. I also appreciate the locked washrooms being equipped with showers. I was under the impression that shower stalls were going to be the mode of use, so that was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be back!
