Nice location and clean rooms

The room was very small which I expected, but I didn't realize there would be a bunk bed....that wasn't ideal. The bathrooms were clean, I didn't really love seeing a older man in his briefs in the bathroom area. Overall I liked the staff and it was very clean

The property was phenomenal. I won’t lie - I was nervous about the shared bathrooms. They were kept very clean! Everyone was very respectful and you didn’t feel like privacy was lacking. The hotel also has a restaurant and more importantly a COFFEE SHOP right in the lobby! We will definitely be staying again!

The staff were incredibly helpful! Accommodation, although slightly unuasal, not having a en-suite bathroom in the room, it was easy, safe, convenient having it down the hall. This arrangement made the cost about half of a compreable room elsewhere and the condition and decor of the rooms and hotel in general made up for any inconvenience (although it really wasn't that inconvenient). If you want a bathroom, they do have some rooms available with en-suite bathroom). Going to the bathroom down the hall is well worth the discounted price especially if you are staying by yourself. Very cool and trendy place! Great tacos and beer at the in-house bar restaurant.

We knew we had to share the bathroom and shower. Yes They were readily available but I wish I had access to bathroom and shower in the room without walki g down the hallway. The room was super small. One of us had to climb over the other since there's no room to walk around to the other side. Also no Velvet service. We had to park 3/4 mile away for a super expensive public parking. Yes there's an effort but common now. We paid over $200. This is what we get? Also I d like point out the review were perfect ... which I imagine somewhat rigged?? Plus the party outside was loud... a lessen learned.

The door to the bathroom was stuck! So hard to open and close! The Wi-Fi/tv didn’t work either, no connection to anything, which was annoying. But other than that it was a great stay! Those lofts are adorable!
