It’s nice. The current staff are nice, the beds are nice, there is ac and fans. The location is in the city so takes along time to get anywhere nice. There is one shower for the room and then the other showers are tiny cubicles with no hooks in shared area which is so not ideal as you can’t really get changed in them but very exposing area to be half naked and unrealistic to wait for everyone in your room to be done in the bathroom.
