This is a backpacker place not a hotel/motel. They don’t provide things where a normal hotel provides like towels, shampoos, conditioners, bath soap, etc. It’s a shared kitchen so you need to bring or cook your own food. Only cookware is provided. You pretty much have to bring your own things overall. Angeline, the manager was pretty nice, helpful and accommodating. Free wi-fi and connection was good. I had to ask the manager for help me because in the beginning I had trouble connecting. If I were to make some suggestions based from my stay, the mattress that I slept on might not to be updated. Also the washrooms needs hand towel or paper towels to dry your hands. Overall I was ok with my stay here. I recommend it to anyone who is always on the go.
