The staff is FANTASTIC and helpful, the facilities are great but the upkeep and cleanliness is where they fail. I don't think it's the end of the world if you find dental floss behind your bathroom door or a hair or two in the bathtub. But i definitely know it's not everyone that could handle that. I had 2 rooms and both had toilet issues (water flowing constantly). Breakfast is amazing, everything you need to get your day going. If your looking for a roof a clean bed and a shower, book now. If you're looking to be amazed by your experience. This is not the Ritz

Friendly staff

Only stayed for a short time. Shower was a little dirty but otherwise everything else was up to par. Staff was friendly and texted me shortly after we got to the room to see how everything was. At that point I hadn’t looked in the shower yet. Otherwise no complaints.
