Great place — the rooms are spacious and attractively decorated. The king-size beds are firm and comfortable. It's clean, safe, and quiet — and definitely affordable for short- and long-term stays. Rooms have small alcoves with desks that are perfect for setting up laptops or "light" food preparation, and the standard dorm-style refrigerators and microwaves are more than adequate.

It was 80-85 F all night!! Who can sleep like that!!! Don’t stay here if...
