8/10 Good
"The room was generally great and the pricing is reasonable. Check-in process information was received by email and was comprehensive enough to work. However, there didn't seem to be a single staff member onsite which gives a certain abandoned vibe to the whole place. I also had to do some low level hunting to find my room as a result. Room walls are a little thin, could hear TV in adjacent room pretty easily. The room facilities and condition was great though and the location is also excellent."
