The Hotsel is absolutely amazing in term of location, cleanliness and staff helpfulness and accommodation! The only and also a major complaint is the locker provided along with the room. The provided number combination works sometimes and cause problem twice that needed assistance from staff, which is not available after hour.

It's a good hostel. The bed was softer-cushiony than any stay I had at chain motels and hotels in the past 10 years. I will stay there again. I had a private room for my wife and me. My car was safe in their lot.

Excellent service with affordable price

Comfortable place if you’re looking for something affordable without fuss. There’s no 24-7 front desk but management is very responsive via phone. Relatively clean. People just need to follow the rules and keep common area clean. Most people bring their dirty habits with when they travel, but for the most part, the facility does well with keeping the property clean and safe. I have been here a few times and plan for more stays.

You get what you pay for!

This will get ya what you pay for. Quick overnight stay is what we needed. We paid for a private room, but the staff didn’t know if our room was private or not which we were concerned about cause there were socks on the floor and unmade beds. The ceilings were also not enclosed, which we weren’t expecting. Overall, good one night’s sleep and a shower.

When I arrived the girl who checked us in was any bring but accommodating. Online it said the property would have somewhere to lock your belongings. Upon arrival there was a locker but no key. We asked the girl at the front desk and she said she had “no clue”. We walked out and decided we decided we would be staying elseware for the night.i went back in and told the girl that we would like to cancel unless we could find a key to lock our stuff up she finished making her noodles in the kitchen while I waited for for 5-10 minutes for her to cancel our 1 night stay. She said she canceled it but I have not yet received a refund. Was excited for a new United States hostel experience especially since it looked so cozy and in a great walking location on the website but in the end it put a damper on our night as we had to make other arrangements and spend extra money without even a partial refund. Will not be back and will not recommend.

Annex

First time in the Annex and I will never start there again. Building was VERY cold and it was even cold outside. a few of the stairs were loose and I stumbled on it the first time I ascended the stairs. Main floor bathroom was poorly done. Little privacy in the shower or first stall. Light was poor. No mirror over the outer sink. Lower bath fan was so loud you could not think. Mirror was off to the side and made it difficult to shave with. Sink would not drain, and was disgusting. I have stayed at this property before in the main building and it was excellent.
