This is a Trusted Review. Why?
It's on the good location.
This place isn't for everybody, but it's ok, and has a great location. I wasn't a fan of the tacky college-humor posters (bed-cam and toilet cam? Seriously?) or the fact that the place was freezing cold pretty much 'round the clock. But the staff was very helpful and you can't beat the location.
