Our stay at The Social Hub was a unique experience. The staff was friendly and we were upgraded upon check-in, which was appreciated. However, the overall vibe felt more like a student dorm than a proper hotel.
The first room we were given had dirty floors, though they quickly accommodated us with another. Cleanliness and maintenance were lacking throughout. The property was previously student housing and it still feels that way, with old signs in the hallways and a very casual environment. It also functions as a co-working space, which made it much busier and more chaotic than we expected.
The energy from the staff was very Gen Z. Everyone was polite, but casual and detached. There was little engagement and minimal hospitality. It felt more like staying at a social club run by students than a traditional hotel.
The elevators were small, stuffy, and required transferring between two just to reach our room. The entire hotel had a strong, unpleasant odor, likely from poor ventilation and lingering body odor. Some air fresheners or better airflow would help a lot.
Breakfast was disappointing. The eggs tasted like they came from a powder mix and nothing felt fresh. On a positive note, the rooftop view was beautiful and the amenities were geared toward a younger crowd.
