Clean rooms, attentive staff, great location. Two of us stayed in a bunk bed pod and had enough room to move around comfortably. Restrooms were clean every time we stepped into them during a three-night stay. On the second day of our stay, our AC went out and the room would not cool down. Spoke to the front desk on our way out that morning and by the time we returned in the afternoon, they had the issue resolved. If you don’t mind staying in pods/hostels and can manage with less room square footage, they are a great way to save money on a trip. This one was great; would stay here again.

Our stay was awesome! It’s in a great location and felt very safe. Our only problem was the sliding bathroom door that wouldn’t stay closed. I’m sure this isn’t a problem in just our room. They really need to fix the doors as the room is already so small so that’s privacy that is much needed.
