Location is really good but amenities could have been much better, i got no coffee refills in my room after the first night so had to go get some, the check in procedure was confusing and all online, there was hardly ever any staff at the front desk over 4 days and you get into the hotel and your room with a 5 digit code, no key which is very weird.

The hotel and location was overall good. The only issue is that there are no staff members present at the hotel. There isn’t anyone you can contact because they won’t answer you.

though it’s a little odd not having a traditional front desk, this arrangement works well - the staff maintained a presence via texting and I always had what I needed - I recommend this hotel

One night stay

Great stay for a single night. A bit of trouble to start the stay as there were problems with the room door code. Initially nobody responded to the messaging system but I found the managers number on a business card in the lobby and was able to reach him there. He arrived very shortly after to help it took two more codes to try before finally getting in. The room was cozy and fit my needs. The bathroom door handle was busted and the tv had some dead pixel lines. There is some fridges in the lobby for your storage. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would consider coming again.

Poor maintenance. AirCond was faulty and water flow was slightly more than a trickle. No remedy despite 3 assurances to improve the water pressure. 6 days of suffering.

I was there on the invitation of one organisation. Used taxi for get around. Some what difficult with the check-in process all done on the internet. Management ont on sight 24/7 and hard to get intouch with. It is more of a hostilethan a holte. but travelling single and on budget was great. All the bllocks are short and evrything I needed was close by in walking distance. Whole Foods was nearby about two blow ks away. omunity storage of food items in storage.
