The room was really clean. My roommates were nice. The only thing is there was a sign in the washroom saying to complete your shower in 3 minutes. Who is showering in 3 minutes? Other than that it was a pleasant stay. Would recommend if you’re a more extrovert type of person.

Body wash was always empty. When I told to counter staff in the midnight, he said he can't do anything. And I went to eat breakfast at 09:00, but didn't have waffles anymore. So terrible!
