10/10 Exceptional

I have got really impressed with the cleaning of all the environments, the amenities helped a lot to save time when you want to take a fast breakfast and go, or to relax in a pool without traveling long distances. The best part is to meet people around the world and make new friends and connections during your trip.

The cost was one of the lowest available on kayak search engines. The staff were great. The rooms were reasonably clean and low cost dining was across the street. Mostly well behaved college age adults were around.
