Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I loved that the rooms were very neat and the bathrooms were exceptionally neat as well. The sheets and duvet were comfortable and the locations was very good! I also loved that the 12 bed mixed room I stayed had a sitting areas with mirrors super easy to get my makeup done and it had a lot of windows so it was very airy. It exceeded my expectations and I enjoyed my stay
Negative: I would have loved to know ahead of time that I can pick the lower bunk.
Summary: Awesome
