8/10 Good

Verified traveller

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was simple, big, lots of space. We had a college apartment style dorm, so it didn't have the amenities of a full service hotel. However, we simply needed a place to stay that was convenient and cost effective.
