6/10 Good

This a place that is trying to get the Brighton area up and revived. The area could be amazing . I hope some investors come revitalize this area so that small business owners can thrive. Bedroom was clean, and Bed was comfortable kitchen and bathrooms. Look to be newly remodeled the rest of the area as in communal areas are a bit outdated.
EeeLN, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was a little too warm and stuffy, and there was a weird smell. There were also some stains on the towels. The shared bathroom setup was nice, although it could have used a little extra cleaning. Good option if you’re on a budget, but we ended up going elsewhere as we were starting to get sick and needed air conditioning/ air flow.
Kyler, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mauvaise odeur dans l’établissement,cuisine pas propre du au manque de propreté des autres chambreurs. Comptoirs sales, linges a vaisselle en tas, eau pas chaude. Aucun verre.
