Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room on a higher floor facing the inner courtyard if street noise is a concern; street-facing rooms can be loud, especially at night.

  • 02

    Arrive early to secure a free parking spot, as the garage has 35-38 spaces and fills up quickly on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • 03

    Use the free luggage storage until 6pm on checkout day to explore the city after checking out.

  • 04

    Plan for a light breakfast - cereal, yogurt, fruit, and coffee/tea - and bring your own lock for the dorm lockers.
