Bed in 8-Bed Female Dormitory Room
Stayed 8 nights in January 2023

Great Location - loud music at night”

This facility is located on a main street from the 20ish party street, but has great restaurants and coffee shops & Jewel City with a grocery store, etc. The location seems dangerous at first, but just be street smart. Bar attracts a great mix of locals and travelers from within the city.

Excellent”

Bed is very clean. Sheets smells clean and comfortable bed. Toilets are a little far for the private room and when it’s raining there is no shelter to the toilet. But toilets are clean. Overall good and will recommend to others.
