Worst experience Ever. We drove over 10 hours and a upon check-in, they tell us we do not have a reservation. We booked the room 3 months in advance, recieved several confirmations, had a confirmation number, received text messages from the Hotel Zazz days before the stay confirming our reservation. Had more texts the day before, the morning of and during our weekend after they told us we didn't have a reservation. This Hotel is a JOKE. The Worst customer service I have ever experienced from any business.

They charged $12 extra for parking, which is ridiculous for a “motel” (“motor hotel”). They also charged a $20-ish amenity fee, which is basically a pool … so makes zero sense in winter; and really should be included in the price of the room, not a hidden fee. The lock on our door also didn’t work, and it was a struggle to get it to latch closed. We also had a single towel for both of us in the room. I think the place relies on it looking cool (which it does in person, too), but the hidden fees and poor condition are not cool.

While the outer space of the motel is adorable, bright colors, eclectic decor, the room itself left something to be desired. The room had been renovated but poorly. Again, I love the concept of the place but it was not well executed in the room itself. The straw that broke the camels back for me was the shower, the tiles had brown grout lines in places and were completely covered by grout in others. Then, I noticed the long, black hairs all over my shower wall and I was done. I hope the owners are able to put some time and attention to the rooms because they have the start of something that could be great.
