The place is large and spread out.
Very comfortable place to do a study
from what I saw. 2 Bunk beds and
at least 1 desk with chair per room.
Each room also has a cabinet for each
subject which is lockable. Big
windows and a TV and DVD player make
this one of the nicer rooms I've seen.
Food is quite good. High marks for
presentation. The chicken pasta is
served on a pasta plate. Wow!
Yeah. It doesn't take much to
impress me. Anyhoo. Staff
are friendly and make you feel
like part of the family. Worth
checking out if you're in the northwest.
