First time stay

Not super clean. Some furniture needs repair or upgrade. I had curtains stained in my room but the management was super responsive and moved me to a better room. The Internet was slow though. Maybe it was just in my room because I saw lots of people were using their laptops downstairs. Also the amount of homeless people around the hotel doesn’t add it a charm. The AC was working but because of the room design, the living area was not getting enough cool air, making it hot while it was freezing by the entrance and kitchen area. This place has an interesting design, but I wish the maintenance of this place was better.

It was interesting. Two lofts with two twin beds in one and a queen in the other. One twin bed was an actual mattress and the other was just a pad. The queen bed was very comfortable. The rooms are directly over a gas station (7-11). It really felt more like a hostel than a hotel. It served its purpose.

I regret that I only had 1 night to experience the service at this place. Everything was great, the room was clean, not too big but comfortable. Plus points for this place being close to downtown and the places I wanted to go. I will come back.

Great room.. weird bathroom

This hotel was perfect location in Hillcrest. The room was great… lots of windows and great views while in bed. Nice living space and kitchen… comfortable bed. The weird and disappointing thing was the bathroom which was a toilet and shower behind a black plywood partition… so sharing this room, you want to have a comfort level with your partner. But beautiful room for sure.. not sure if all the rooms are… and Vincent was awesome helping with check in and information.

Super dirty - as in sticky floor, stained furniture. Shower moldy. No mirror. Toilet had sink behind it to save water (ok) but how on earth would you wash your face or brush your teeth?!? The bowl was smaller than the tank cover. Straddling the toilet would be the only option. Odd elevator with a code that you had to punch into a box that was half off. Just…. Nasty.
