Good stay. I was in a one room suite and enjoyed the accommodations as well as the staff. The place has more of motel vibe. Wished there was the ability to lock items in a space in the room.

Very poor for the money
For almost $150 the room was very small, and very warm. No airconditioning, not even a fan. The place is a youth hostel and older adults should not even think about staying there.
