    Everything is new and the staff is very kind and helpful. Extremely clean, great location and great value for the amazing things you get. The gym is a small room but has everything you need for a good workout (again, everything is new)

    If you’re looking for a good balance of party and sleep, look no further. It is a fairly new place so it was very clean and the mattresses were so comfortable! I fell sick and the staff was so helpful, they made sure they checked on me and helped...
