Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Highly unprofessional property manager. There was an individual, who stayed in the dorm introduced himself as working for the owner, was harassing the guests and I felt unsafe in his presence during my stay. Staff did not care after the feedback. If you are a solo female traveler, stay away.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
For our needs, STAY was great. It was affordable and walkable to The Salt Shed, our reason for visiting. Business-friendly seems like a stretch unless you’re working in a private room on your bed. Keep in mind that since the kitchen has quiet hours until 8a, you won’t be able to prepare food there beforehand if that’s when your work hours begin. Personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable working more than sending a few emails as there’s no real dedicated space.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very easy to check in, never even met anyone from the property. It's all done with codes and the instructions were very clear. I think the only thing I didn't like is that I was charged extra on the day of the check in and I wasn't aware I'll need to also pay for a "cleaning fee" and some tax that I had to send over PayPal.

It’s a budget-friendly place to stay with a convenient location and public transportation within walking distance. However, in terms of cleanliness, I requested a bedsheet and towel change for four consecutive nights, and although I was told it would be done, it never was.

Good for the price. You are in a room with random people, but not that bad, guy did snore on one night but you get what you pay for. If your just looking for a place to sleep and pretty close to night life it’s a good stay
