Great place with plenty of seating areas, and the staff is excellent. My only complaint is about the beds—they are lumpy, and there are no curtains to provide privacy. I also wish they had female-only rooms.

WHO let the dogs out? Whoof, whoof?! The first night we were disturbed roughly by the dog barking for 30 minutes straight after midnight. No one was there to silent him. It also barked at everyone. Another night we had staff talking in the hallway loudly, walls are so thin that it was hard to sleep. Private rooms are close to the common area, so it’s hard to find any sleep before 12. The kitchen is well equipped but quite dirty. We cleaned everything before and after using.
