Overall okay, the main issue was that one of the other members throughout the night would just pass gas and talk in their sleep. Another person just changed right in the open. Place is clean though.

1 night stay and since I arrived late, I like the ability to still be able to access the building. The room was a good size. I wasn’t that pleased about the shower room. I feel like you shouldn’t be able to see under the shower doors (privacy).
