Nice place. Wasn’t for us and checked out a day early to a hotel. Sleeping was hard as noise was heard throughout at night. Just humans being humans ;) Staff “YaYa” and her sister were great! Shower/bathroom area was clean, warm and nice. Located in the heart of shopping area. Maybe it’s for you, don’t knock it until you try it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Central location, very very noisy, limited privacy when sleeping, thin blankets didn’t provide much heat and bathrooms unclean with messy arrayed products. I didn’t get much sleep due to noise and privacy and doubled up on layers to feel warmth.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Decent option, odd experience
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.
