Liked: Close to everything, good price, clean, friendly staff

Disliked: the room was REALLY small and the bathroom was about as big as a closet. the bed was super hard. but in all honesty those things didn't really bother me that much but that's just me, i would probably book here again, but it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea
