The room was unique with loft, the bed comfortable and clean and [my] AC was working well. (Met other guests who were in a unit with no working AC). The windows were failing with condensation between the double pane, obstructing view. The furniture was very stained - so much, I wasn’t comfortable relaxing on them. Cobwebs, garbage in the upper corner of the room. Walls, ceilings and window coverings were marred with scuff marks or liquid stains of undetermined origin. Shower curtain had black mildew stains. No bathroom sink, so all hygiene routines happened at the kitchenette, stainless steel basin. 3 spoons and 2 knives provided in kitchenette. Lots of nightly foot traffic in the elevators by single fellas~ This place had potential, but I will not be staying here again.

Fun and unique studio apartment. The cafe downstairs is great and the location is very convenient. The bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom is not great if traveling with more than yourself.

i stayed in the split level cabin stylish room, excellent walkable hillcrest location. we booked for 1 night and extended for another. a few things to be aware of in advance if you’re a couple considering staying in the unit 1. the length of the bed barely fits in the space so if you’re on the far side u can get around the bed but just barely (maybe 6-9” of free space) 2. the bathroom is suboptimal — unnecessarily tiny and open at the top and only has a tiny eco sink above the toilet. the main sink i used was in the kitchen. with the design, bathroom noise travels so unit really much better for a single than a couple or good for a couple that doesn’t care 3. the picture of the room that i saw showed a desk but our room just had a narrow table big ebnough for the flat screen tv sitting on it, so i repurposed the living room table as a desk for my computer despite some of the issues with the bed space and bathroom design, it was a great value for a really stylish unit in a great location. for the right people, highly recommend

Avoid like the plague.

I really WANTED to like this hotel, as it’s independent and eclectic. Sadly, it’s the second worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms are utterly impractical. There is no closet, and not even hooks and hangers. There is a single “overcoat” hook by the front door. There is no bathroom. The toilet and shower are in the living room behind a moveable screen. There are two sets of steps (two steps each), one leading to the galley “kitchen” (just a counter, sink, mini fridge, microwave, and a few cupboards. The last set leads to the bed, which takes up the entire landing. The bed is ridiculously low, making it very difficult to get up from it, and the mattress was very uncomfortable. If you have ANY mobility issues, this is a death trap. It’s very easy to fall. The promotional materials don’t reveal the full impractical nature of the rooms. Hotels.com should de-platform this hotel, and the hotel should be investigated for ADA issues.
