totally rad stay!

helpful staff clean towels
The staff was super helpful and friendly. They gave awesome local recommendations. my room was clean and had everything i needed, especially clean towels! i also found the room to be spacious. i could even open my big luggage on the floor.
the absence of a front desk was a little confusing. i wish i had received the access codes earlier!

metal bed digital lock
the team was helpful regarding a late check-out extension of 3 hours.
The bathroom was tiny though clean. It was not suited for larger individuals. the metal bed made loud squeaks whenever i moved, that got old fast. the digital lock did not provide much security. The check-in form, including codes, was left in a pile on the table.
