So, stick with me on this one- great location and a solid price, but my experience definitely had its ups and downs. Everything seemed totally normal leading up. I got check in info morning of and was told I could check in anytime after 4pm. However, when I went to check in at ~5pm, there were no keys in the lockbox- Belisa referred to this as a “miscommunication” and I finally checked in just after 6pm. By this time, I had a friend with me (I informed Belisa of this over the phone) and was planning to drop my things and head out for dinner, but my phone was at 6% battery. My friend and I stayed in the room for 40 minutes watching a movie allowing my phone to charge. Upon exiting, we were confronted by Belisas boyfriend. “No disrespect,” he said in a very disrespectful tone, “but the listing was for one person. I don’t know if you misunderstood, but the room is only for one. No disrespect, but he can’t stay here.” Keep in mind my friend lives in Manhattan and had no intention of staying there, but Belisas boyfriend wasn’t listening and just kept saying “no disrespect”. No further interaction happened with her boyfriend after that during my stay, so you could say it left me with a sour taste in my mouth, but I tried not to let it get me down. After dinner I came back and all was fine and quiet. Then, I got ready for bed and noticed the bed had only a top sheet and a light blanket- no fitted sheet. This felt a little unsanitary considering the number of people that have most likely slept in that bed, but I let it go and went to sleep in what felt like a upper 60s climate. Flash forward 6 hours to when I awoke absolutely sweating. Morning time in the room with the door closed is absolutely stifling. Maybe I just caught them at the wrong time- I don’t know but this definitely wasn’t the experience I expected.
All in all though, for the price and the location, it’s passable. Will I be running back to stay here again? No. But would I stay here if I was coming to town last minute and on a budget? Maybe. 2.8 stars.
