My friends and I stayed in the two bunk room and were pleasantly surprised by this hotel for the price. Staff was friendly and helpful, the room was spacious enough for 4 girls, and the beds were surprisingly comfy. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone coming to the city!
