Shower in room had mold and just smelt musty. Out of 4 shared showers (all with the same previously mentioned issue) on basement level only one was in operation. Was accused of being homeless by Nana after showing my key card multiple times a day and still could not sit in the common area without being questioned. Would recommend spending extra money to stay somewhere else, not a friendly place for solo travelers. Staff outside of mentioned employee was very kind. Not the worse but have stayed at cheaper places with a much better experience before.

Rooms need to be cleaned daily. I started in a 4 beds girls room and it was very dirty, had to ask the staff to please send someone to clean the room. Another girl did the same. They only take the trash out, but even the shower smells like pee. The mattress wasn’t very comfy. But the hotel is nice, very close to everything. And with many activities.
