Clean and usually quiet. We had the room directly next to the front desk area so it was loud at times and thin walls. Maybe they have had noise complaints in the past. They provide free ear plugs at the front desk but it was too noisy for us. Didn’t like that you had to ask the front desk to adjust temperature of room. I think the room temperature settings are connected too. We had them turn it down when we checked in and they turned it up at night for some reason so we woke up hot and sweaty at 3am. Terrible experience as we couldn’t sleep due to the heat and couldn’t change the temperature. Had private twin room which was spacious. Access to shared but single access shower and toilet rooms which was nice as oppose to having to use the same shower and toilet area as the dorms. The washing/drying machine is a coin machine and single setting only good for lightly soiled clothing. Big communal kitchen that we used. Have to pay for parking but convenient location. Overall would probably choose another place to stay instead if we were to visit again.
