This is cabin in the woods that is like a hostel. I had the whole dorm room to myself. The service is techno; everything is done by phone. I was worried I would not be able to upload my pic of my license, but I got it done.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The place was nice. We stayed in private bedroom. Very clean. Unfortunately, we shared a wall with bathroom and could hear everything happening in there. Bath towel and washcloth that was provided was very thin. There was no hand towels or paper towels provided to dry hands in bathroom?? They recommend bring your own towels??The extra bathrooms and showers were in lower level in the garage. Finishings in here were lacking and walking in the garage was not ideal barefoot or in socks. Overall for the price I think I expected more.

Michael

Disliked: Room comfort
We paid extra for the “private room” expecting it to have its own bathroom but it did not. There was one bathroom for the whole house to use. (There were additional toilets and showers in the unfinished basement, but it was a dungeon down there.) We booked two nights but we left after one and we booked another hotel that had a decent bathroom in the room. The Arete is definitely a hostel, not a hotel, and should be advertised as such. (We didn’t learn until we were already on the road that we should bring our own towels and top sheet. For $150 a night these things should be included.)
