"My 17.5 year old daughter was able to check herself in for a solo stay (with me signing a minor consent form) and enjoyed it so much that she returned later in the same week! She had been staying in an old college dormitory in the countryside, for a language study program, and was so happy to be able to find refuge at BlueSky. She enjoyed its comfortable rooms and terrific location in this fun city."
