The only real issue was the mattress or bed was sagging on the one side. Either broken or damaged. Otherwise the stay was good.

It was a teenie tiny room with dorm style shared bathrooms, but hey, it was cheaper than a regular hotel by $100 a night so I'll take it. You get what you pay for, and for this price, it's definitely worth it. The location is awesome and super convenient and located near a bunch of train lines. If crash space is all you need, then this is perfect.
