Great location with nice pods. Theres good space for people to leave their bags. The lockers are big enough for your belongings but not big enough to store a bag . No lock needed . The bathrooms are clean. The common area is spacious. The kitchen is minimal. Toaster oven , fridge and microwave. Silver water and dishwasher. I stayed here twice and enjoyed it! Friendly staff . They allow you leave your bags before check in and after check out. Good spot .
