10/10 Excellent
"As a solo traveler, I felt very safe and was impressed with the pods. They’re a pretty good size so I didn’t feel like it was too cramped. Everything was pretty clean. The staff were great and often gave suggestions on activities to do which I thought was pretty cool. It’s in a great spot that it’s easy to walk literally everywhere. Will definitely be staying here again when I return!"
