Positive Reviews
positive:
Onsite restaurant.
The onsite venue offers guests a selection of craft beers, as well as a variety of beers on tap. Guests have found that they appreciate the convenience of having a decent eatery right onsite, removing the need to travel during their stay.
positive:
Great service.
When staying anywhere, guests have a certain level of customer service they expect to receive. At this hotel, the staff go above and beyond that expectation, and have proven themselves time and again to guests who have returned for another stay.
positive:
Clean rooms.
The rooms available to rent are kept very clean, and have some nice modern décor added to their rather limited amount of furnishings. Guests can expect a no fuss stay, in room that is clean, and without clutter.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Unique negatives.
While the renting arrangement is rather unique, guests don’t necessarily find it all that appealing. The rooms are rented out alone, and guests have to share their bathroom and shower facilities with others on the same floor.
negative:
No Wi-Fi.
Out-of-towners who rely on Wi-Fi to remain in contact with their businesses of families may find the fact that this service isn’t offered to be rather unpleasant. In this day and age, where everything is digital, it is almost distressing when one cannot connect.
negative:
Poor breakfast selection.
As morning meals go, the one offered each morning at the self-serve station is rather weak. Guests will find that there are many options to make up a decent meal, and that they would be better off searching for somewhere else to get their breakfast.
