I love this business model! You stay without having to see or interact with anyone. The room had several thoughtful touches. With more small touches, this would be a great place to stay! There’s nothing wrong with it as is, for just a quick overnight, but I probably wouldn’t return. More specifically, the tv is too small, the bed is adequate but nothing more, the internet (and cell service) are terrible.

The access code upon arrival did not work. Checkout reminders even before check-in are in poor taste. No better or worse than an average room anywhere. Sticky floor, broken shower, but clean room, convenient location.

Conveniently located, but furniture was very basic- like someone screwed in pieces of plywood to form a headboard then stuck light behind it. Looked much better in pictures than in person.

Judith

I liked that we didn’t have to check in at a desk. Everything went smoothly, no problems getting into our room. Our room was fine, very basic, and interestingly renovated using inexpensive materials and decor. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it’s decent. My only complaint was the shower curtain rod was not secured properly so the curtain kind of fell open a bit allowing water to splash out. Also, I showered before bed and had forgotten to pack socks or slippers. By the time I got into bed the bottoms of my feet were dirty.
