street lights shared bathrooms

the curtains in our room would not close, so we had street lights streaming through our window (it was quite annoying). the window did not block out any sound from the street, so we could hear everything loudly. the shared bathrooms were not kept clean either.

Solid stay downtown

central location flat ladder power outlet soundproof booths

The location was central. My bunk included a flat step ladder, curtains, a light, a power outlet, and a locker. Though bicycle acceptance is unusual, staff allowed me to keep my bike in storage. I appreciated the soundproof booths for work and calls.

I found the beds area a bit awkward, with a large box over the foot area. I kept bumping it with my legs.

Charmed stay

superb location quiet space

The location is superb, especially for accessing public transportation. The office pods provided a quiet space to work (i even attended a meeting).

The staff is the kindest and most understanding. everything in the kitchen you will have to each before using because everyone leaves food on the dishes they clean. shared bathrooms just as a btw, i booked and didn't realize that
