Pros +

  • Location is great and staff were super friendly.
  • Location

Cons -

  • The shower and bathroom had A LOT of black mould which wiped away super easy, implying that it just hasn't even been wiped down in a long time. The bed is obviously very old and super bowed in the middle, making it quite uncomfy to sleep on.
  • Very dark room in dark walkway.
