Loved almost everything about my stay! The only thing was the location of the showers was awkward, and communal dorms will always have their drawbacks, but that’s what I signed up for. Everyone was lovely, the facilities were great, and loved that each dorm and front door was locked.

For what you pay for a typical pod, this was pretty nice! The pods were a decent size even for someone plus size. If you're just needing to stay for a short stay and don't need to really spend most of the time at the hotel, this is perfect. There is even a sitting area in the lobby and a rack to put your luggage there early if you're there before check in. My pod was nice and clean and the mattress was comfortable. The plastic has some cosmetic cracks here and there but other than that the pod felt safe and the dorms feel really safe as well.
