Central, very nicely decorated and extremely comfy

The four berth bunk beds were nicely arranged so each person was in a cozy little cabin. Solid wood construction with really handy outlets by the head, making it easy to stay connected to home and set alarms for early travel. Great bar albeit very expensive and super hipster which is not my style. Stayed during Lolla so the joint was packed. Would definitely stay here again.
