the staff was friendly, and the location suited my needs just fine.
I was quite disappointed by the noise levels. I heard doors slamming all night. also, the lack of a fridge in the room was a real inconvenience. I had expected one, especially considering the price. there wasn't even a small safe to store valuables.
