The experience is very hostel style. You will have your own room but share a bathroom that I believe gets cleaned once a everyday. You also have a shared kitchen. Our room was ready 4 hours before check in so that was very nice. We did have access to clean towels. We had the freedom trail room which is pretty small but if you're going to be site seeing during the day it's not a big deal for 2 people. The neighborhood is definitely a little rough but it's quiet! For summertime there is good AC. Everything is up a large amount of stairs for anyone older or handicapped. Overall, it was a good stay.
