The place has its own bar, a large kitchen and common room, clean rooms with provided linens and an ensuite bath, a slieu of quick and dependable computers with internet access, and even a small travel agency service specifically for indigents and slackers (like me.) Anyway, I think it's fair to describe it more succinctly like this: awesome."
