Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The staff is super friendly and responsive. The location is amazing as well !! We had a problem with a terrible roomate (who don't know how to share a room/respect people) and they fixed the issue very quickly, moved us to another dormitory for the other night and bring the informations to the manager (it was not the first time they had issue with her). So thank you so much again for your help😍👌
Negative: The showers need some work, the pressure keep going on and off
