Very clean. The sheets and topper were sooo soft!! I miss my bed there. I purposely asked not to make my bed as I had stuff all over it. Iā€™m sad bc I did not receive towel animal bc of that. But thatā€™s ok. My roommate received his so I took photos of those!

Ship tip

Donā€™t pack so much! Leave room for souvenirs like tshirts etc!!
