This is not a real Air BnB. This is a hotel and it operates like one. You'll need to pay a deposit on top of what you've already paid through the app. The entire point in using Air BnB is to remove yourself from all the rules, protocols, and hoops that you must jump through to rent a hotel room. I don't think hotels should be allowed to advertise on this platform and I don't think they should be allowed to rate guests since they technically don't fit the description of what an Air BnB should be. In addition, please be advised that there is $25-$50 fee on top of the price you're shown on Air BNB. In my opinion, the price that is advertised is deceptive and lures you in but in reality the real price is on par with other bigger Hotel name brands in the area. I will say that the location was great. That's the only positive thing I have to say.
I only came for 1 night for my graduation and, given the chance, I would NOT have stayed another. This used to be a motel and they've done a couple of renovations but there was a weird smell in my room. The heat/air stays on 24/7 ( perhaps to cover up the smell) but it never gets warmer. I had to order a portable heater.
I offered to pay an extra fee so that I could have a late check out and they told me it wasn't possible. They did however let me keep my bag in storage. I did not enjoy my communication with the front desk staff. The group before me was not required to pay the extra $25 fee but I was charged. In the multiple times that I'd spoken to the front desk staff over the course of my stay I'd always had on amask. Upon checking out, the front desk representative chastised me about not wearing a mask with my hands full of bags and dressed up in my graduation paraphernalia. I was rushing to get out of the room and make it to my graduation. I was six feet away from him and I had a mask in my hand and in my purse and he chose to tell me that Bostob requires masks as if I didn't know that! The agent was fully aware that I was NOT intentionally trying to avoid wearing a mask. I am pro mask all the way. He just wanted to give me a hard time in addition to what I already had going on. Terrible customer service. I was relieved to turn the keys and head to the airport. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
