It was so easy to just get there and check in online and was a nice cozy room. Even though we just slept for a few hours it was satisfying to us

this is basically a hostel for grown ups. In one of the worst parts of town there's no lobby or visible staff, my room did not have a closet and looks like the "bathroom" was added to a nice fraternity room. walls are thin so i could here the tv from a room down the hall. low price so small room expected. its clean they sent me the codes (no keys) morning of stay. didn't need anything so not sure but they seem responsive. great as a crash room.

Cozy and comfortable room. The hotel managers were very kind and helpful when I had trouble locking my room. The room I stayed in was not quite soundproof as I could hear conversations in the entrance lobby, but it really didn’t bother me. I’d love to stay here again one day

Creativity abounds here. It is more like an air Band B, which can have some advantages and drawbacks, such as no lobby or front desk. Parking is mostly two hours, also, Monday through Saturday, so that could be an issue for longer stays.

There are people camping close to the hotel, do not expect a hotel type of services.

The room was great. They tried to run my credit card after it said “pay at check-in” never received a 48hr email only after I called to complain about them running my card when I haven’t checked in, ignoring my calls 4x times after I messaged them to answer and got a “sigh” from Angela. Just thought that was fishy as hell. Why charge my card when I haven’t received a confirmation email like stated on site and why charge my card if I’m not checking in?! Was told I’d get a call back but was sent the email and payment link at 11am for a room you can’t check in into until 4pm.

Dropped the ball on NYE
I wasn’t allowed to check in my first night. NYE. I tried calling and nobody was available which is understandable on NYE but the room was supposed to be self check in and I was never sent the access codes.
