The staff were very friendly and very helpful in the very short notice, check-in was easy and the room was perfectly fine for what I needed. Access to transport was easy (pretty much straight at the front door or not that far walk away) and food eateries are also close by.

Weirdly enough the beds were really good and not the typical short bunk bed you get I had plenty of room even at 6 foot 6.
