6/10 Good

This a place that is trying to get the Brighton area up and revived. The area could be amazing . I hope some investors come revitalize this area so that small business owners can thrive. Bedroom was clean, and Bed was comfortable kitchen and bathrooms. Look to be newly remodeled the rest of the area as in communal areas are a bit outdated.

6/10 Good

Mauvaise odeur dans l’établissement,cuisine pas propre du au manque de propreté des autres chambreurs. Comptoirs sales, linges a vaisselle en tas, eau pas chaude. Aucun verre.
