    Sara at the front desk of was very friendly and helped us book our shuttle for the crossing. I liked the privacy of the bunks and the locker availability in the room.

    Awesome courtyard to hang out in. Love how there’s space inside the bunk bed to put stuff next to the mattress. Each bunk has privacy blinds. Bikes available for rent at good prices. Looks like they also help arrange transportation for people...
