Honestly I was conflicted about writing this review, but I think ultimately it might be helpful for travelers in the future!
It’s important to note the pool is only available via online reservation, and there were no available reservations for the pool when we booked two days before we were staying there. The issue with the pool requiring a reservation was not on the listing at the time we booked this and was only communicated via message *after* we had booked. You’d think hotel guests would automatically have access to the pool, but nope. It’s apparently first come first served on the online reservation website and non guests are free to book the spots for the rooftop bar.
What we liked: the room was as pictured! It was clean and cute.
What we didn’t like: Aside from the room the rest of the hotel is very dated. The hallways are extremely dimly lit and smells strongly of marijuana. If that smell offends you, I would recommend skipping this hotel. Additionally, the mattress was hard and uncomfortable and the only bed linens in the room were sheets, pillows, and an extremely thin comforter (if you could even call it that). Our room faced a parking garage whose light flickered on and off like a horror movie all night long. Even with the blinds shut we could see the light flickering in our room, and it was extremely distracting.
Finally (due to the location) if you are a woman I wouldn’t venture out after dark, even if you’re traveling with a friend. I was with another female friend and we intended to leave the hotel to do a sunrise hike and before we could make it to the entrance of the parking garage (just around the corner in the same block if the hotel) we were chased by a homeless person running at us full speed and yelling - we both had to sprint back to the hotel as this person pursued us, while the many other homeless people also just outside the hotel watched.
This may be a great deal for a hotel but keep in mind you get what you pay for. I cannot say we would ever stay here again.
