"Quirky place. Lots of nice amenities and is clean. Overall I would recommend but for my particular use, I found it very loud on the weekend. Both nights people were partying, there was a high pitched squealing noise that went on for hours below my room, doors were slamming, people were arriving late. If you have early mornings I wouldn't recommend this place, especially on weekends! "
