Liked: The pool and bar area are nice for hanging out. The free wifi and free computer for use are a major plus. The staff were very nice and allow you to stay and store your stuff past check-out.

Disliked: The bunks have no ladders and are very tall. If you are a bit on the shorter side hard to get around. Not very many plugs for charging stuff. Bathroom floors fairly dirty with so much traffic and toilet paper was empty in all restrooms most of the day.
