The only thing they have going for them is the staff is really nice. Unfortunately they are losing business with their tiny cafe because only one person working it. Elevators are super old and the wait is always LONG. They try to maximize the super tiny rooms the layout is awful. My head on the single bed was directly next to the air conditioner. It you want to rough it go stay there although not worth the price. Location is good though.

Budget option, reasonable

Shared bathroom - private washrooms with toilet and shower and sink. Nothing else. No lines. Was fine enough. Rooms - bunk bed is fine enough. Not the best but it’s budget status. Doesn’t shake the top bunk too much.
