I think this property is ideal for party-goers but not for families. Having 1 tiny shower in only one of the 2 units is not comfortable or feasible for a family of 7 and an infant. A lot of the furniture was broken, the carpets in both units were filthy, and the check in process was confusing with having to get a fob to get into the building and then using a different code to get into the units. Our codes never worked but the property manager was extremely friendly, helpful and responsive. The neighborhood did not seem safe and there were multiple homeless people loitering right outside the entry doors. There were blinds on all the windows and the curtains didn’t fully cover them in the smaller unit which meant my infant could not fall asleep until much later, and there was not enough extra bedding or towels. The movie theater was fun for the kids and we appreciated the responsiveness of the property manager but we won’t be coming back or recommending.

Girls Night Out
Property was clean, and host was great to work with. Close proximity to Wells Fargo Arena so made getting to and from our concert easy. We opted to park in the nearest parking ramp, and it was spendy. Host did offer a cheaper option but didnt check it out.

An unique setup
My family of four stayed at Dan's over Christmas. The downtown location was incredibly convenient, but the highlight for my kids was definitely the theater room. Between the theater apartment and the studio, we had two differently styled spaces to give us room to move and differentiate our activities. Would definitely stay again!

Bachelorette Slumber Party
We stayed at this property to celebrate my sister getting married! The location was great with the close parking garage with skywalk/indoor access was great when we left when it was raining. Everything went very smoothly and the host was extremely responsive and attentive to our needs!
Great! As advertised, very attentive, fun setting with everything needed
We had a great time here! It was as advertised, with very responsive host and management crew. The big screen was awesome, the setup was fun and unique, and the beds were comfortable. We had only one small issue with the bathroom faucet not turning on and it was promptly addressed and fixed. The check-in process to get the FOB and parking takes a little bit of effort, but was smooth, and well instructed. Overall a great experience.
