"I had a great stay as a solo traveler. I did a single room and had use of the shared kitchen, which was perfect for my needs. The room was basic but clean and quiet. I really liked the location where I could walk to town and get groceries, and catch the bus to Stoos Ridge, and the bus+train to other locations. It's also a good location for going on morning runs."

"We had a single room which was small but its furniture provide many compartments. Many shared toilets and showers never need to wait in a line. The breakfast was excellent with many choices. The only downside was the noise from the traffic on the road in front of the building. Need a earplug for sleep."
