The rooms were tiny, I guess it’s what you pay for. But also no elevators so if you’ve got a lot of luggage or heavy luggage, Goodluck to you. Staff at check in was great though, he was super helpful. Would never stay there with a kid again though, but could be alright for a solo stay where all you need to do is sleep there
