    I really enjoyed my stay here! Everything was clean, cozy, and comfortable. I especially liked the separate bedroom with a comfortable bed and the nice living room. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

    Nothing at all horrible

    I checked into this property on September 14 and reserved a bed for the night\. After stepping out briefly, I returned to find another woman in my room, lying in the bed I had reserved\.

The outlet in my pod didn't work, I had to stay at the common area until vert late to charge my devices. I had to book a mew place because I wasn't able to take a good shower and was feeling very hot in there.…

    6.0

    The communal kitchen has great equipment, it's clean and accessible. Bedrooms are clean too, the sheets are soft. I had a broken foot and the personnel was very helpful. They helped me carry my luggage on my arrival and on my way out.

Open-air rooms does help with air circulation, but you will need earplugs and earmasks (I wish I had ordered from https://www.loopearplugs.com/ earlier !) Last time I slep…
