    Convenient location. Basic necessities provided. It’s my second time here, already have QR payment so it’s a good improvement. Fair privacy if not peak season (my shared room was empty).

    Super clean, comfortable, separate bathrooms male/female that have everything you need. A lady came into our room on my 2nd day and offered a new towel and a change of bedsheets which was unnecessary but I appreciated it very much- super service!...

    I like that they have a complete kitchen even though you can't cook, you have a microwave and fridge in the pantry area. The room is clean. Just asked if you need to iron your clothes, they'll give you an iron board and the iron.
