Let me say that the location is excellent if you have any business at the university. Very beautiful and safe neighborhood. If you are a young person looking for a place to flop for a short time, this will do the trick. It has the basics and is clean even though very old and in need of some updating. The rooms are large and it has wifi. The beds were comfortable and warm enough. The shower was functional but has loose pipes and holes in the wall and is very narrow. The water was hot and the pressure is fine.
Please understand that this is a house that hosts a jewish learning center. The common areas may be used for functions, get togethers, or various religious ceremonies or celebrations during your stay. You might feel a little uncomfortable walking in and passing through these festivities on your way to your rooms upstairs as everyone stares at you wondering who you are.
Don`t be fooled by promises of bagels and lox , coffee, etc. The cafe was not available but there was hot water and instant coffee at least one morning. There are no TV's in the rooms. There does seem to be some entertainment items in the common area, but again you may or may not feel comfortable in these areas depending on your faith and willingness to mingle.
Aside from some inaccuracies, the place serves its purpose. An affordable, adequate, overnight accomodation. Not much else to offer beyond that. It will save you money, just don't expect all of the comforts of a hotel. My daughter and I were ok, but we don't mind an adveture. My wife would not have stayed there. Good thing for me, I did not ask her to.
