  Overall a great place for the price. The problems are easily fixable

  Liked: Great location. Lots of places to hang out. Good price for breakfast. Comfortable bed.

  Disliked: Bathroom a bit smelly. Especially the showers. The couches all so old. Some hard to sit in. Decore a bit cramped in some rooms.
