Overall fine for a few nights. Pro: Staff nice and friendly. Bed was comfy, decent amount of locker/storage space. Location great, easy to get there on the bus from the airport. Clear check-in instructions provided. Con: Kitchen needs a ton of updates, sink leaking nonstop and only one handle to turn water on/off. Tiny fridge, not enough space for storage at all. Not really any common area or space to sit. The beds definitely need curtains! 1 bathroom between 6 beds sucks, bad ratio
