    Overall a good experience. The lounge and kitchen area was great. Nice TV and it had a charging station which is nice. Beds were not super comfortable and it was very hard to get up to the top bunk. I'm 62 and overweight so it was very risky. ...

    No breakfast included, that was a bummer. But we had coffee and tea all day long. Also great and enough storage for our food. Even though I was in a 6 female bed room, we had bed curtains that gave us privacy

    I loved the open space on the second floor with the game room and kitchen. I also loved the shower timer that helped keep showers short.
