“For a modern area, it's hard to beat the price here; the beds are comfortable, with privacy curtains, and the staff seems genuinely accommodating, even for late check-ins. I noticed they even have a tattoo studio, which adds a certain cool factor, and the well-equipped kitchen is a definite plus. I think it's a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers.”
