Good location if you want to explore downtown. Not good if you're uncomfortable with common gender bathroom and restroom.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was plain , just a bed, a desk, and a place to hang stuff, but if you're looking for a place to just crash for the night, then the price for this place is just right. They serve snacks for breakfast, so you don't leave on an empty stomach, and there is an added attraction that they had interesting things in the lounge each evening, such as karaoke, beer pong margarita night, etc. The staff was young and delightful, all overseen by a very focused house mom (sort of). All in all, a very pleasant experience for the price.

The room is clean, all the sheets are replaced after every guest. Staff are also helpful. The breakfast is the only fly in the ointment, which is just oat and milk.Maybe just add some bread will be better.
