I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but this was so sh*tty and this was my HONEYMOON.
The description of the location seemed like it was a downtown hub, conveniently directly across from a Trader Joe’s, but when we got there I was mortified to find it immediately adjacent to a Planned Parenthood, so that was a lovely sight every single day we pulled out of the parking garage.
When we entered our room, we found a full trash can and a dirty bed along with a dirty, used towel on the bathroom floor, despite having told the host the time we would be arriving, and it was hours after check in, and our city view was the glowing Planned Parenthood sign.
We were moved to a clean room that was larger than our previous one and this time, our view was a trashy construction site and because of the construction, we were woken every single morning between 8-10 am with a jackhammer, among other loud, annoying construction noises. I found it incredibly deceiving that this listing did not offer a fair warning of the construction. It was impossible to sleep in.
We also had to download an app so that we could access the parking garage, and the app had incredibly poor reviews, and appropriately so because it literally never worked. We were locked out of the garage multiple times and had to get three separate key fobs to unlock the garage and lift the parking gate because they would stop working. When we called to get it fixed, we were informed it wasn’t working because we hadn’t PAID for parking which is 30 dollars a night. I was extremely upset considering this was not included in the price on Airbnb nor was it in any emails I received about our booking. We spent over $100 on parking alone and we never received so much as a simple “I’m sorry for the miscommunication.”
While the idea of a pop-up hotel seems nice, it was executed very, very poorly, and I’m so upset that that was our honeymoon.
Among other things, none of the outlets in the bedroom worked, the lamps didn’t work, there was no overhead light, and the shower pressure was so slight, you had to stand almost directly under the shower head just to get slightly wet, and there were no fitted sheets on the bed. In their place was a regular sheet that we had to retuck every single day because it would come undone while we slept.
This is certainly not what we pictured our honeymoon to be and we sure as hell will never use this host again, let alone stay in the city. There is constant construction.
We had a good time while out, but anything related to our stay was horrible.
