Good enough, beds are super nice and really comfy but everything else is pretty mid. Bathrooms are a bit wack and the rooftop area is pretty small but the location is so good that none of that rlly matters. Literally right next to beer street and the bar crawls usually end at the club a few doors down. Probs wouldn’t stay again but was fine, the staff were chill.
