"You get what you pay for, staff were nice, location was great."

7.0

Location fab, place was clean, kitchen was useful.

The dorm door really needed to be pulled closed, otherwise it was not shut. Cleaners left it open too by accident. The mattress had a dip in the middle but that wasn’t a massive surprise given cost and use.
