10/10 Excellent
"Incredibly helpful front desk staff! The cabins were clean, simple, and well appointed. We stayed in the ADA room since one of us wasn’t able to climb into a regular bunk and it worked well for us. I was able to climb into the top bunk without issue. Clean sheets, functional outlets, nice common area. It was a small room, but not too small to fit us and our giant luggage. Serviceable restaurants on site if you don’t feel like venturing out. There was some loud construction across the street when we stayed, but not the hotels fault. Really good location! Front desk were super helpful and kind. Worth the price in my opinion."

"We only stayed one night at the Hotel Sarah Nui, and although it was old and the furnishings were old and mismatched, the room and bathroom were extremely clean which is what is important to us. The shower was great - plenty of hot water. Bed was comfortable. Very nice staff who allowed us to store our luggage for a few hours and called us a taxi. The hotel is nice for a one or two night stay."
