"One of the cleanest places ive ever stayed in, there wasn’t even dust under the bed. The place is well maintained besides the taped over extraction fan in the mens shower ceiling. the showers themselves were 100% Mold free and spotless with good water pressure. The place is a bit dated but wasn’t an issue as i just used the place to sleep between being out all day. Only real issue i had was that i couldn’t bring snacks back into my room otherwise place was great. would defiantly stay again when...
