super stay!

helpful staffequipped roompleasant locationlarge table
i found the staff very helpful. the room was well equipped. the university campus location is quite pleasant. it had all the amenities i needed it was super clean and perfect. the room was large it was bright and airy there's a good desk for working and a largish table too.
the rooms got very hot. windows can be opened a bit however this means you can't draw the curtains if you want fresh air to get in. that means outside light filters in. the room becomes too bright to sleep.
