Some rooms are spacious, especially the triple and quad rooms, though attic rooms on the 5th floor have sloped ceilings and can feel cramped. A few rooms have been recently renovated with modern bathrooms; others remain older with dated furnishings.

Some rooms include a kettle with tea supplies, though no coffee-making facilities are provided. Daily housekeeping and towel changes are standard.
