    In the room there was no form of separation whatsoever between the beds, and they were quite close to one another. No individual lights neither. In the bathroom the separation between one toilet and another was like a public toilet, no privacy.

    The people working in reception were very nice. Room, bathrooms and kitchen were clean.

    Located close to mall - less then 10mins drive to central place. Lots of food places nearby within walking distance. They accommodated our late arrival, and provided clear instructions on how to get into our room.

    Not enough toilet paper in restrooms and stairs makes it difficult for people with disabilities to access the front office or check out. I wasn't asked if I wanted a towel upon checking in. If you are going to to reuse the comforters without washing, then best you provide people with a top.sheet. Otherwise, the.comfirter needs to be cleaned each time for proper hygiene.

    The location and affordability

    Bunk beds were slightly uncomfortable, very squeaky and cannot sit on them without hunching.

    I really like the central location.
