There is a Bluetooth speaker on the roof, which can be connected to Bluetooth to play songs. The room is very big, very new, well decorated, hygienic and clean, and the bathroom is also very large. The facilities are very complete and overall very good.

Great place! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, the beds and showers were above par, and they even had an espresso machine in the room! I’d highly recommend.

We have a family of four with teenagers traveling. Stay central was perfect. It had bunks in our room so both kids had their space. The room was comfortable, clean and just big enough for us. The staff was helpful, friendly and the space was fun and modern. Wed definitely stay again.

The name should be stay away. Plumbing leaks, difficult to get cold water. Floors are floating squeaky and popps up, you can hear people walking everywhere. No AC , windows stay shut was told for safety reasons. Mix up on room and number of people. 1 chair to sit in. No where in bathroom for items had to place everything on floor. Needed ice for medical reasons no ice had to go to restraunt. Some Workers not very friendly. Decor cheap.
