Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No TV! It's a low budget dorm. It's not practical to have flat TV screens in every room because of the budget but they should have one in the sitting area. Other than that the services they offer exceed expectations based on what's paid.
