“The rooms are reportedly well-maintained, but be aware that street noise and the lack of air conditioning can be disruptive; plus, the shared bathroom arrangement might not suit every traveler. Its proximity to the university is a real benefit for campus visitors, although the absence of an elevator could pose an issue for those with heavy luggage. Ultimately, it seems best suited for budget-conscious and unfussy overnighters.”
