Cozy place with good internet, quiet at night place with nice pancakes in the morning but a few issues: Basketball is played in the court way too early & too late. Be on the b side of the building to avoid. There are 2 bed dorms with ensuite bath & kitchen but also another dorm inside that 2 bed dorm as well so you have 2 other people going in and out & cooking etc so it is really a 4 person dorm sep by wall. You pay extra to have less people but not less people.
