Nice to visit, but wouldn't want to live there.

It was in some areas excellent, it was affordable, it was clean, it was a smoke-free area, has some amenities, but lacking in other areas, no TV in rooms or common area, bathroom wasn't conveniently located on same floor as my room, not much entertainment other than a room with a pool table, and a ping-pong table, snacks were exorbitantly priced, drinks were fair-priced. overall, it was okay.
