1. No curtains in the room and it was extremely bright with the shades closed 2. No extra blanks for the pull out bed 3. No local stations on the TV 4. Make check-in easier by providing a picture of the keypad, it just looks like a card reader 5. Fire alarm at 1am did not make for a restful night

Second time at whyhotel
Second time staying at whyhotel. The only issue was that the room smelled like weed when we first arrived. This room was a little more damaged than the last but it was still clean. We felt fine once the weed smell dissipated. The building itself was quiet and we felt safe. Check-in was easy and communication through text was efficient.
