Staff was super helpful during a late night check in. Room was clean. Bedding and towel were clean. Lockers are a bit small for storing my larger laptop. Price was great for what I got. Highly recommend.

I don't like this place; it's one of the cheapest options you'll find in the area, but if you can spend about $10 more, avoid this place and choose the other option.Here the bathrooms smell like pee, you can't wear shoes inside meaning you have to step in pee to use the bathroom or brush your teeth, the place is generally clean, it just smells bad everywhere.So if you have enough money to avoid it, I recommend it. The good thing is the location; it's close to public transport stations and bike rentals.
