Excellent. Well appointed cabins that are perfect for a short stay if you are in between flights. They are new, very comfortable mattresses and everything you could need although very small. Comfortable for one person, probably a little cramped for 2 plus luggage.. Bathrooms good and lounge area with coffee machine 😊

We were very happily surprised at the cleanliness and the quality of the room and common area for the guest. We used it for a transition spot and extremely pleased for the affordable price.

The bed was comfortable, and the room was fairly clean, but the shared bathrooms/showers were not clean, half had no hand soap, or toilet paper. Stay in a regular room not a cabin!

Le lit est confortable, les draps agréables. C’est bien propre. L’inconvénient que nous voyons, si le lit est placé en haut, c’est la difficulté pour y accéder. Les échelons sont très espacés, et il faut prendre beaucoup de précaution pour grimper. Ce n’est pas pour des personnes âgées ou en surpoids.

It was basically an upscale hostel. We were fine, and it was pretty clean and safe. Just a matchbox sized room only big enough for the bed, a desk and a tiny place to stand. Restrooms and showers are communal and around the corner, and there was a common area. $79 for 2 people was great for one night.

The a/c unit works well. Bed was very comfortable. The big surprise was we had to use a ladder (4 rungs) to climb to the bed. Pics did not show set up like the one we had. I would reserve it again for what we needed but the bed would have to be ladder less.

The Cabins are great for backpackers just needing an affordable please to sleep and shower, way better than a hostel or guest house. The beds are really confortable and A/C works. They also have a cafe and rooftop bar! Parking cost $20 extra and I wish they had something to lock my pacsafe bag to while I was out, but really enjoyed my stay.

Small room, small price. This is not a normal hotel room. No chairs, very little floor space. We just needed a place to store our luggage and take a shower (in the shared bathroom) before a long flight. It worked very well for that purpose.
