The room with twin beds does not have a lot of space to move around though two big luggages can be put under the beds. I think guests should have the option to request the round table to be removed from their room for a bit more space. Washrooms are on the same floor but showers are on a different floor. It feels more like a hostel.

For the price this was an amazing place to stay. I slept very well, the washroom and showers were clean. They clean the showers twice a day. Very good water pressure. Check in and check out was easy! Very close to the subway exit! A lot of amenities - towels, tooth brushes, shampoo, conditioner, slippers, pjs. There are also washer and dryers vending machines on the first floor.
