Pros (+) Unfortunately I cant say anything positive about this place. The location, if anything.
Cons (-) After i was given my room card, i went down to find my bed. I could not tell which one was free, because all of them were dirty and had plates, knives, etc on the beds. The room smelt filthy and there were wet towels strung over all the bed. I left after one night as it was not a clean environmnet to be in.
