The staff was so welcoming and helpful. The rooms were clean and the price cannot be beat. Highly recommended!

The person at the desk was friendly and helpful, but he recommended the upstairs restaurant, which ended up being closed. I found this out by taking the elevator upstairs and being met with total darkness. The hall to my room was dark when I was trying to find my room, as well. Otherwise, it was an acceptable place to spend one night.

Ok for the price. It was just loud during my stay and bunk beds did not have curtains. Location is close to food and airport. Front desk was very friendly and helpful.
