Pleasantly surprising value. Prices are low but the rooms were well-maintained. A few minor upgrades might be needed like towel racks inside bathrooms, soap holders, and toilet paper holders.

Very affordable rate and trying hard. Please take these suggestions: have the breakfast trash can inside the building; make sure microwave, fridge, and coffee out can all be plugged in; make it so furniture doesn’t have to be moved to plug in a computer while using the desk.

Everything was nice. I didn't like the bathroom light, it was one of those motion sensor ones. It kept turning off after like 30 seconds so my showers were mainly with the light off.
