More of a hostel/coliving property

Lyf is upscale hostel. Hotels.com as many other properties, with this property, too,misclacify the property as a 4-star hotel. Rooms are extremely small, the bathroom is as big as you move around. In the shower you can hardly move around. Hotels.com misclacify the star rating for most of the listings.
