This place was disgusting. No heat, windows in the dorm didn’t close and they give you the thinnest blanket in the WINTER. The place was filthy with mice and mouse droppings everywhere. I would never go back to this place.

No food options at location. All food options are 10 to 15 minutes away. Bed are not the most comfortablle. Bathroom counter and sinks speckled with people's toothpaste and not cleaned once by their maintenance person. Had to clean own space prior to using it.

Great friendly, hospitable, knowledgeable staff. Overall happy with the accommodations. Slept comfortably. I would recommend and stay again. I wish the basement rooms had windows that were more accessible to open for fresh air since there's no AC. Bathroom showers could use a better scrubbing in the corners. There were cob webs & long leg spiders. Spider & cob webs in the corners of the room too.
