1. I arrived from a red eye to the place at 1:30 am check-in and there was no key available. I could not enter the building and had to wait 15 minutes for someone to arrive while I’m in the middle of Chicago at night. To their credit, they responded quickly, came to let me in, and were very kind about it. But after flying across the country it was quite unsettling to not be able to get in.
2. The place was as clean considering it being a dormitory style setup with many bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. However, I’m not sure the shower was cleaned between days. There was hair in my sheets so unclear if they were cleaned. And the entire place smelled like marijuana. Which was problematic as I was interviewing and had to wear a suit the next day, which smelled like weed.
3. There is a rule for no loud sound after 10 pm but there was certainly loud televisions from nearby rooms.
Nonetheless, it was a good value for what you get. Safe with many locks and cameras. Responsive hosts. But being locked outside at 1:30 am because there was no key like stated in the instructions and the entire area smelling like marijuana made it to where I probably won’t stay here again.
