Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Checked in after hours and the gentleman was rude at first, but ultimately helpful when I called in advance. Very open set up, no privacy, no towel or wifi was offered but I opened some cabinets and found one. Overall decent option, just a little weird experience.
