The staff was incredibly accommodating, the beds cozy, bathrooms so clean ... The view from the rooftop was amazing and the pool was pleasant. The valet service was super fast. I was even surprised by the gym on site. It was super affordable, which made all the amenities impressive. I would definitely stay here again! The lobby has such a cool vibe although the seat cushions could use a deep clean. I met some gals from all over the globe in my quad and they were super easy to bunk with. I had an overall wonderful experience.

The inside of the hotel is very different—eclectic, I’d say—but the staff was kind and welcoming. My room was clean and overall fine, but the lighting was extremely dim and couldn’t be adjusted, which was a bit frustrating. The biggest issue for me was the noise level. My room faced the street, and throughout the night there were cars racing by and people yelling or talking loudly. It made it really hard to sleep, and I honestly felt like I needed noise-canceling headphones just to rest. The surrounding area felt a bit sketchy. I wouldn’t recommend walking alone at night, especially if you’re a woman. There were a lot of people hanging around outside—possibly unhoused individuals or street workers—and the general vibe wasn’t safe or clean. If you’re staying here, I’d strongly recommend using valet parking and planning to stay inside once you return for the night. Overall, the hotel staff and interior were nice, but the exterior environment and noise levels are definitely something to consider before booking.

Really loved this hotel when we visited, but to stay was different altogether. Check in was OK but we had a 2 hr wait, room was fine- bunkbeds made us laugh, rest is very basic. There was blood on my bed frame, but the worst thing was housekeeping, my daughter left her toilet bag and electric toothbrush in the room, there was roughly $400 worth of cosmetics & jewelry, which went missing during check out. Front desk said they don’t keep low denomination items… but they never had it?? Made me not want to return or recommend.
