Every bed is equipped with a large locker to store your belongings, a black-out privacy curtain, individual charging plugs, shelf, and a night light so that you can rest easy. With two large refrigerators, two sinks, a microwave, oven, range, pots, pans, and various other small kitchen appliances, our kitchen is prepared for whatever dish you dream up. With designated men’s and women’s bathrooms, 9 showers, 8 toilets, and complimentary bath towels, you should never have to wait to use the facilities.
